Northern Lights Expected Across Many States Amid Severe Geomagnetic Storm

A severe geomagnetic storm is predicted to bring the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, to various parts of the United States, with visibility expected from the Midwest to the southern states. Locations such as Massachusetts, Northern California, New Mexico, and even parts of the Carolinas are all experiencing heightened chances of seeing this natural light display. NOAA has issued a rare watch for the storm, noting that this could be the second time in nearly two decades such an alert has been warranted. The storm could also impact power grids and potentially lead to disruptions in technology. Observers in states including Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Ohio are being encouraged to look to the skies, as the conditions for a spectacular aurora display are favorable tonight and into the coming days.
