The NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center has announced a G3 (Strong) geomagnetic storm watch for northern U.S. states, anticipated to produce spectacular auroras due to two substantial Coronal Mass Ejections from the Sun. Expected impacts will occur between April 15 and 16, with optimal viewing locations identified in Alaska, northeastern Montana, and northern Minnesota. Other northern states can expect varying visibility of the display. Clear skies over the following days offer potential viewers a chance to catch this extraordinary natural phenomenon.
NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a G3 (Strong) geomagnetic storm watch for Tuesday night, allowing for auroras to appear across 18 states.
"These solar storms will likely travel slowly, but they are dense and thus could pack a decent punch!" - Tamitha Skov, Space Weather Physicist.
Up to 18 states could witness the stunning glow of the aurora, with prime viewing locations in Alaska, northeastern Montana, and northern North Dakota.
Despite the variability in forecasting, it's worth glancing skyward as even areas farther south like Illinois and New York may catch glimpses.
