The Northern Lights may be visible in northern skies across 15 northern U.S. states and Canada as soon as it gets dark on Tuesday, Nov.25, according to a forecast from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center. The forecast includes a G1-rated geomagnetic storm.
It comes in the wake not of a solar flare or a coronal mass ejection, but as Earth is doused by an unusually turbulent solar wind. It means an increased chance of aurora at high latitudes, but also farther south if things intensify.
The latest forecast calls for a G1 geomagnetic storm after dark in North America on Tuesday, Nov. 24, stretching into the pre-dawn hours of Wednesday, Nov. 25.
