- Aurora unlikely. Tonight's forecast peaks at Kp 2.0. From here you'd usually need about Kp 9, which takes a rare, extreme storm.
- Space station passes at 6:13 AM, up to 25° high, moving W → NE. It looks like a bright, steady star that crosses the sky in a few minutes.
- Moon 35% lit (Waxing Crescent), above the horizon for 32% of the dark hours.
- Clouds: about 0% effective cover during dark hours, so mostly clear.
