Default Northern Lights - Forecast

I'm lucky enough to be going on a flight to see the Northern Lights on or
about the 10th of December. Now I know I've read with interest some
discussions on the Northern lights on this NG, and wondered if anyone knows
where there might be a forecast for activity on the date mentioned.


The aurora are even more difficult to forecast than the weather - even at
only 12 hours' notice. Here are a couple of sites you can check for
current activity.

At the last one you can sign up to receive email alerts when high activity
is likely.
