Northern lights!

Sky watchers in northern Michigan were treated to a good show on Thursday night, thanks to clear skies and a vivid appearance of the aurora borealis.

Did you see the lights?

Looks like tonight (Friday) will be partly cloudy over northern Michigan, with a snowstorm coming in Saturday.

But if there's a patch of clear skies, take a look.

Pro tip: Use your smartphone camera to scan the sky, even if your naked eye doesn't see anything spectacular.

Often times — especially if there's a "night mode" feature on your phone's camera — you'll get a better view.

(Of course, if you're in a Dark Sky park or area, please be respectful of the rules there.)
