Northern lights could be visible tonight in the NYC area. Here's when to get the best look.
The northern lights, also known as aurora borealis, could be visible tonight in the New York City area as we dry out from rainy weather across the Tri-State Area.
With a chilly breeze, temperatures on Sunday morning reached the 40s and low 50s. The breeze will linger throughout the day, but there will be much more sunshine.
A spot shower could develop north and west of New York City, but it will be dry overall, with highs reaching the mid to upper 60s. There is still a high risk of rip currents for south facing beaches in Suffolk County.
Northern lights forecast tonight
Winds should relax tonight and it will be cool again as temperatures dip back into the 40s and low 50s.
With clear skies in place, the northern lights may be visible tonight in the Tri-State Area, especially in the northwest suburbs.
CBS News New York
All of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut will have a decent chance of seeing the aurora borealis tonight, but the best viewing will be between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. in the Hudson Valley, Catskills and northwest New Jersey.
CBS News New York
The northern lights put on a show over New York and New Jersey last October, as forecasters watched for a potentially severe geomagnetic storm.
Photos from last year show the sky lit up in pink and purple across the northeast.
Looking ahead
As we start the new week, a warming trend will commence. Monday looks to be an absolutely stunning day, with loads of sunshine and highs in the mid-70s.

1 dead, several wounded in Minnesota's Boom Island Park ‘war zone'
A woman was killed and five men wounded late Sunday when a mass shooting turned Minneapolis's Boom Island Park into a 'war zone,' officials said. Another woman was hospitalized after being knocked unconscious in the chaotic aftermath, Minnesota Police Chief Brian O'Hara told reporters at a Monday-morning press conference at the park. Investigators said there was likely more than one shooter, given the number of shell casings, and that no arrests had been made. The Hennepin County Medical examiner identified the woman killed as 23-year-old Stageina Katraya Shapryia Whiting from Brooklyn Center on Monday. She suffered a gunshot wound to the torso. The gunfire broke out during a dispute at a large gathering in the Mississippi River-adjacent park, O'Hara said, and calls began coming in around 9:30 p.m. Police arrived to find about 100 people in the park. Chief O'Hara said a large crowd had gathered at the park Sunday evening, perhaps for a BBQ, when an argument escalated into gunfire. His investigators believe multiple shooters were involved in the incident, as hundreds of pieces of evidence were strewn around the park, many of them empty shell casings. 'It's more akin to a war zone, the amount of casings found in the park. It's sickening and we need people to come forward,' O'Hara said. 'The level of violence displayed in this shooting is absolutely sickening, and our investigators will work diligently to bring whoever is responsible to justice.' Mayor Jacob Frey called the violence 'completely unacceptable' in a social media post stating that just this week, the city launched 'Operation Safe Summer' to curb violence. City statistics showed more than three dozen law enforcement units responded to the gunfire. CBS News reports that at least one Minneapolis City Council member wants to see Boom Island close its gates by 8 p.m.
