If anyone is up this late [Wednesday night] and you live outside of the city limits, have a look into the sky for the possibility of seeing BOTH the Beaver Full Moon AND the Northern Lights.
Usually, the full moonlight "drowns" out any other light source, but not tonight!
Have a great night!!!
It's a Celestial Sky "2 Fer" tonight... #Supermoon & #NorthernLights !
Even with the brightest supermoon of the year happening right now, the Northern Lights are becoming visible for areas of central Wisconsin at this time.
Have pics of them -> https://www.wsaw.com/page/weather-pictures/ 
First Alert Weather livestream at 8 p.m.
We'll discuss tonight's supermoon, the short-term forecast and then the much cooler long-term forecast starting at 8 p.m. right here-> www.wsaw.com/livestream
Have an awesometabulous rest of your evening!
