This may be a great weekend to look up to the evening sky.

The word is we could be in for a great display of Northern Lights tonight through Sunday.

Auroral borealis activity is currently extreme, and that means, weather permitting, incredible northern lights display will be visible directly overhead in most northern communities, according to auroraforecast.com.

In its three-day forecast for May 10 to 12, the organization says the geomagnetic field is expected to be at unsettled to minor storm levels today, active to severe storm levels tomorrow and unsettled to major storm levels on Sunday.

Many incredible images of northern lights have been captured in Cochrane over the years.
