Reply to comment by freelancezero in Northern Lights (may be) visible tonight by TotallyNotACatReally

The article doesn't say near Boston. It says they were visible in Massachusetts, because they were visible last night in places like Greenfield and Amherst. The headline says Massachusetts, but the article itself says New England repeatedly, and it doesn't mention Boston at all.

True, but I was trying to address OP's question about visibility in Boston. The article's claim that the lights could be visible in New England tonight is pretty misleading though, since the max Kp forecasted is 4.67. That has the potential to produce camera-visible auroras low on the horizon in far northern Maine, but certainly nothing visible to the eye.
