https://spaceweather.com/ This is what I use in MN to gauge the possibility of northern lights. The sun is currently in a "less active" phase where its deemed "solar minimum" or, no sunspots. As a result, Northern lights are also reduced
Theoretically, yes. Seeing the northern lights in MN is never guaranteed though, you need a particularly strong event to see them that far south
