Aurora forecaster Charles Deehr at the UAF Geophysical Institute says that highly active displays will be visible overhead, weather permitting, from Bethel to Barrow, Ketchikan and Dillingham.
He says the lights are expected to be visible low on the horizon from King Salmon.
The forecast for the Fairbanks area, however, is for clouds and a chance of snow. Lows are expected to drop to 25 to 35 below zero, with wind chills of 45 below zero over the hills.
KTUU (http://bit.ly/A9gqbp ) says forecasters expect the display to be a five on a scale of zero to nine. Five is considered "extreme."
