🌌 Northern lights encore

Cuyahoga County • September 16, 2025

​

Good morning, Cuyahoga County. Mother Nature delivered quite the spectacle across Ohio skies Sunday night as the northern lights danced in a rare celestial show. The dazzling aurora borealis, captured in stunning photos throughout the region, offers an encore presentation tonight with forecasters predicting another viewing opportunity under mostly clear skies. This cosmic light show arrives just as Chelsea Handler announces her "High and Mighty Tour" will bring laughs to Playhouse Square's State Theatre in March 2026, with ticket presales beginning tomorrow.

For those seeking tranquility closer to home, Cleveland's Cultural Gardens Trail offers an urban sanctuary hiding in plain sight. This 5-mile paved path completely obscures nearby buildings behind lush greenery, creating a peaceful retreat despite its location along busy MLK Boulevard. The trail's flat terrain, historic stone bridges, and gardens representing dozens of nationalities make it perfect for a 90-minute escape with your four-legged companion—no hiking boots required.

☕️ What's Brewing Locally

🌌 Northern lights dazzle Ohio skies in rare celestial show. A strong geomagnetic storm Sunday night made the aurora borealis visible across Ohio and much of the country. Forecasters predict another chance to view the northern lights Monday night with mostly clear skies creating optimal viewing conditions. The spectacular light display, captured in stunning photos from northwest Ohio, comes from space weather phenomena that are even more challenging to predict than Earth's weather. Viewers who missed Sunday's show have another opportunity as the geomagnetic storm conditions are expected to continue.
