Here is an address to the IPS website in a simple form to understand about when to expect aurora. The big guns recommend that the Pointer has to be YELLOW and in The Lower right for your area. You can sign up for updates it is a quick way to see what's going on. When only two of the factors are in the right area the chances drop for viewing, however that's not to say there will be no aurora. Sporadics do happen it all depends on the Solar Wind
Good viewing. The guys at STD get HOT when the chances pick up.

Hope this helps
