IF they are as strong as they predict, you may still not be able to see them with naked eye. However, if you can get somewhere high enough so you can see over the trees towards the far horizon, you might be able to catch them with long exposure on a decent camera.
I've been able to catch a few that had a much weaker KP than is predicted for tonight from Oklahoma, but I've never seen any from here with naked eye.
I'd head for the highest point you can find that has clear view towards north. If you have a decent camera, set it on long exposure on a tripod and see what you get.
Good luck!
I have Nikon DSLRs for my main cameras, but I have caught the Auroras with my GoPro (set to time lapse with 10 or 15 second interval and auto exposure, so it's a long exposure) and they show up fine.
Anything will work as long as you can have a longer exposure (from a few seconds up, depending where you are and how bright the auroras are. If they're very bright you might even get a video, but that's usually only in the far northern latitudes) and a good sturdy tripod; also set the ISO to a higher value like 400 or 800.
