The northern lights could be visible from a much larger portion of the northern United States than usual on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, as X-class flares from the sun days earlier impact the Earth.
Forecasters at NOAA are predicting a Kp index of seven out of nine on Tuesday night and Tuesday morning, meaning the aurora will move further south and appear “bright and active.”
NOAA is also predicting “mild to moderate” geomagnetic storms on Monday night, with the possibility of strong geomagnetic storms on Tuesday as two X-class flares solar flares arrive at the Earth.
