Northern Lights Tonight: 10 States May See Aurora On Tuesday During Geomagnetic Storm
The aurora borealis, commonly known as the northern lights, may be visible in the U.S. this week, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center, which is predicting a geomagnetic storm that could result in aurora being glimpsed in as many as 10 U.S. states overnight on Tuesday, June 24 through Wednesday, June 25.
The agency’s three-day forecast has a minor geomagnetic storm occurring, measured at a value of G1 on a scale of G1 to G5. According to NOAA’s forecast, the Kp index — which provides a rough guide to the intensity of aurora displays — may reach 4.67.
Areas where the northern lights may be visible include parts of U.S. states that could potentially see aurora on the northern horizon, with those on the U.S.-Canada border having a higher chance. The potential viewing areas for the aurora include Washington, northern Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and Maine.
It’s important to note that areas far from light pollution are likely to get the best views of the northern lights.
