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 United States this week, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center. The center is predicting a geomagnetic storm that could result in aurora being glimpsed in up to 10 U.S. states overnight on Tuesday.
According to the agency’s three-day forecast, a minor geomagnetic storm will be occurring, measured at a value of G1 on a scale of G1 to G5. The Kp index – which provides a rough guide to the intensity of aurora displays – may reach 4.67.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s aurora viewlines have potential aurora displays that are possible in northern U.S. states and Canada. A total of 10 U.S. states have a chance of seeing the aurora on the northern horizon on Tuesday, June 24 through Wednesday, June 25, with those on the U.S.-Canada border having a higher chance.
Parts of U.S. states that could potentially see aurora include Washington, northern Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and Maine.
