Not true says Dan
Reports have been circulating on social and broadcast media that the Northern Lights will be visible this Thursday night. Don't waste a wink of sleep waiting for it. According to WBOC meteorologist Dan Satterfield, "It's a hoax."
Having lived and played in this area for over 70 years I can recall seen the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) only once, in the early 1980s. There was a rumored sighting about 1961 or 1962 but that is hard to confirm as most of the witnesses have passed on by now.

Baltimore, MD – With hot and humid conditions becoming more common across the state, the Maryland Department of Health is urging Marylanders to follow safety tips and take precautions to avoid illness during periods of extreme heat.
"We remind Marylanders to take precautions to avoid any heat-related illnesses this summer. This includes heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke. On extremely hot days, stay indoors or visit a cooling center and drink plenty of water,” said Deputy Secretary for Public Health Services Nilesh Kalyanaraman. “Also, be sure to check on family, friends and neighbors who may be vulnerable to heat, especially infants, young children, older adults, and people with chronic disease.”
