EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) -- There's a possible chance for the aurora borealis, also known as northern lights, to be seen in Rhode Island Saturday night and early Sunday morning. The chance of visibility is because of a strong solar flare from Thursday morning. The best times to look for the northern lights locally is between 8 p.m. (Saturday) to 2 a.m. (Sunday). Those who'd like to view this should find a location where there's both minimal light pollution and a clear view facing north. Below is an aurora forecast by the Pinpoint Weather 12 team.
