Northern Lights: The best way to view the weather phenomenon
KANSAS CITY, MO. — As the summer heats up, the chance for Midwesterners to catch the aurora borealis, also known as northern lights, increases. The phenomenon often best seen in states such as Alaska, occasionally makes its way closer to a few other North American states, giving others a chance to take a look up to the sky and marvel at the dazzling light show. Northern lights, infrastructure impacts possible due to 'severe' geomagnetic storm: What to know Sunday, June 1, gave some northern Missourians a better chance to catch the lights. However, it is uncertain when the next best chance to catch the spectacle will be for parts of the midwest. This uncertainty is widely due to the light's appearance relying on 'just right' conditions. These conditions include a mix of interactions between solar wind streaming out from the sun and Earth's magnetic field, according to the NOAA. Here's a few tips to help you better see the lights when those 'just right' conditions come back around: The NOAA suggests for the best viewing opportunity, to head towards the magnetic polls. This means heading more north of your area. It must be dark out to catch a glimpse of the blue, green, and purple lights. This means times between 10:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. are typically best. To ensure darkness, look for areas outside of major cities where light pollution is less intense. Keep up with the NOAA and your local weather team.

Neosho River flooding causes Ottawa County road closures
MIAMI, Okla. — Heavy rainfall from recent severe storms has caused the Neosho River in northeast Oklahoma to rise well above flood stage. Moderate flooding is occurring along the Neosho River in Ottawa County. The river is currently sitting at 19 feet and is expected to crest at 20 feet on Sunday (6/8). That has prompted a flood warning for Ottawa County until 9:00 a.m. Monday. However, any rain we get this weekend could cause flood waters to rise above what forecasters are predicting. Flooding around Miami has made it difficult for drivers Friday (6/6), closing Highway 125 near the fairgrounds, along with several other roads throughout Ottawa County. If you see a road covered with water, or barricades blocking a flooded road, Miami Police say it's best to just turn around. 'The fine for driving around a barricade is $560, so just be smart, be safe. We're already going to be strapped as it is with all the flooding that's going on. We have localized flooding throughout the city of Miami right now and other than South Main Street being blocked, Highway 125 being blocked, we have other areas throughout the city that are also blocked that we're dealing with. So, help us out by staying safe. Don't drive around the barricades,' said Miami Police Chief, Stephen Sigmon. Despite the flooding, the O'Reilly Auto Parts Outlaw Nationals Monster Truck Show will take place this weekend (6/6 – 6/7) at the Ottawa County Fairgrounds in Miami. A detour on 69 Highway will take you around Highway 125, which is closed due to rising flood waters. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
