Per this article, tonight may be another big show, including way to the south.

Keep an eye on the sky tonight and this weekend—experts have predicted breathtaking auroras will glow above a wide stretch of the planet. Look up on October 10 and 11 for a chance to see the spectacular northern lights after an outburst of solar material collided with Earth on Thursday morning.
NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a “strong” G3 geomagnetic storm warning. According to a statement from the agency, the northern lights “could be visible as far south as Alabama and Northern California tonight,” as long as skies are clear.
The possibility of a stronger storm remains on the table. Activity levels of “severe” G4 storm “remain likely,” per the statement, and experts predict a “slight chance” of an “extreme” G5 storm like the one that dazzled viewers across the country in May.
