Aurora Borealis

 A large corona mass ejection(CME) yesterday evening has led to the issuance of a G4 Solar storm watch by the Space Weather Prediction Center for tomorrow and Monday.



It could arrive as early as late tomorrow morning or as late as tomorrow evening. The geomagnetic disturbance should be weakening on Tuesday. Depending on the arrival time of the energy from the solar flare the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) could be visible across the northern US. They could even be visible as far south as Alabama to North California.



 Many parts of the Northeast  look to have decent sky conditions to possibly see this. But, Canadian  wildfire smoke could be an issue for some along the eastern seaboard. So we will see if we can see them But it's going to depend on timing and sky conditions as always.

The further north you are the better your chance of seeing the Northern Lights. The best way to view the northern lights is to get away from urban light pollution and travel to a location that has a dark northern vantage point.
