Northern Lights Could Be Visible Across the U.S. This Thanksgiving and Black Friday

This week, a geomagnetic storm is set to enhance the visibility of the Northern Lights, or aurora borealis, across various parts of the United States. Specifically, states such as Wisconsin, Indiana, and parts of the Upper Midwest may have the best chance to witness this natural spectacle during Thanksgiving and Black Friday. However, densely clouded areas might hinder visibility in places like Michigan and western Washington. Along with potential displays in the northern states, even New York City residents might have a chance to glimpse the auroras. Enthusiasts are encouraged to look towards the northern horizon during the evening, as the Northern Lights could provide a stunning backdrop to holiday celebrations. The phenomenon is particularly notable this season due to the peak of Solar Cycle 25, which enhances geomagnetic activity.
