Yellowknife for Nothern Lights in November?

Hello,

I am wondering if it is worth traveling to Yellowknife to try to see the Northern Lights from November 19-23. I know the lights are unpredictable etc. but I am mostly concerned about cloud cover for these dates, as I have read it can be very cloudy in Yellowknife in mid-November.

For historical averages, see https://weatherspark.com/averages/28...itories-Canada
Scroll down to cloud cover, then below that, to the types (thickness) of cloud cover. In mid Nov it appears there's historically an ~ 70% chance of it being mostly cloudy or more heavily overcast.
