Geomagnetic Storm Forecast: Northern Lights May Appear in Southern States This Weekend

Credited from: FORBES

  • A minor geomagnetic storm is expected to impact the Earth over the weekend, likely enhancing visibility of the northern lights in southern regions.
  • The event is due to a recent coronal mass ejection that occurred on New Year's Day, influencing the Earth's magnetic field significantly.
  • The Kp index is projected to be around 4.6, allowing sightings of the aurora borealis in areas as far south as northern Iowa and northeastern Washington.
  • NOAA advises that the best viewing times for the northern lights are between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m., in locations with minimal light pollution.
  • This geomagnetic activity is part of a cycle that is expected to continue, with increased solar activity anticipated through 2025 and 2026.
