I'm a fan of https://www.solarham.net/ , which includes an aurora forecast as well as other space weather info.
I'm guessing this is showing up now because a Strong (G3) Geomagnetic Storm watch is ongoing, which could lead to the aurora being visible at lower latitudes. To quote them, "Should a G3 level storm materialize, visual aurora will likely be seen for locations as far south as 50 degrees geomagnetic latitude or beyond (Oregon, Nebraska, Pennsylvania etc). For now we wait."

Despite its retro design, I think a lot of Aurora chasers use https://softservenews.com/Aurora.htm.
The national Norwegian weather forecasting company “Yr” is building northern light forecast abilities into their app. This article is a Norwegian but describes how the solution will look

The cool thing is that they will compare clouds coverage with chance Of Northern Lights in the city that you’re in.

This site is direct measurements from a university in Tromsø (northern Norway). The graph indicates level activity of northern light particles in their area and gives a great indication of whether or not there is Currently Northern Lights: http://flux.phys.uit.no/cgi-bin/mkstackplot.cgi?&comp=H&cust...
A great way to predict ordinary weather (meaning, not space weather) in Burlington VT is: if there is a possibility of interesting space stuff then it will rain for the next several days. :-(
Two weeks in iceland with sunset at 18:00, but saw basically nothing. Landed back home less than 24 hours ago. Here we are :(. You win this round, universe. One day, I will catch you...
Iceland is magnificent, but when it comes to midnight sun and northern lights, it is to far south. I grew up approximately on the same latitude, and even though we saw northern lights regularly, is was far from guaranteed, and usually less impressive than what we saw traveling farther north.
Perfect for Halloween. Bring on the War of the Worlds.
May the fates hold off the coming of the storm.
