Just woke up to find I missed the northern lights across the skies where I live.
Anyone have a good tracking or alert source? Preferably with notifications of incoming storms.

On android, I use Aurora Notifier for general alerts as well as user-reported sightings shown as dots on the map. I also use Aurora (Pro) for a nice map with current prediction overlay. I’ve gotten many alerts over the last ~2 years with very little viajble activity over my lower attitude. However, the notice that paired with the 10/10/24 event was about substorms. Those give ~30 minute warning.
Whatever you do, there’s a lot of false alarms. We’re headed back to a lower activity part of the solar cycle, but I’m still eager to keep an eye out because it’s still ~5 years before it comes back up to the current activity level.
