Southwest Saskatchewan is forecasted for a chance of some northern lights.
Monday evening will be a little cloudy, but there is supposed to be a large aurora storm in the atmosphere, casting a light show.
According to the Aurora app, which offers a forecast for its namesake, the region should see the strongest chance for this particular storm early in the night and into midnight.
However, local smoke in the area may obfuscate the lights to the naked eye.
One method that can help capture the lights is to take a photo with a digital camera set for a longer exposure. On a cell phone, setting the camera to 'night mode' typically enables a three-second long exposure shot that will allow the user to see the lights. This will not work if there is too much light in the area, so travelling to a dark location away from man-made lights is best.
If anyone does manage to capture the lights, they can send their best shots to news@swiftcurrentonline.com to have them featured in a follow-up article.
