Another chance to see the northern lights tonight?

NOAA's geomagnetic storm warning, extended through Tuesday, could provide another opportunity to see the northern lights. Washington state residents have the greatest likelihood of witnessing the auroras, while those in northeastern Oregon remain on the lower end of the probability scale. The G3 classification of this storm suggests a strong potential for disruption to power grids and GPS systems. To enhance viewing chances, enthusiasts should seek areas away from city lights. Auroras manifest from solar wind interacting with Earth's magnetic field, a phenomenon that can increase during heightened solar activity.

The storm's impact may not only delight viewers but also pose risks to technological infrastructure. Enthusiasts are invited to share their experiences on Chime In. This spectacle highlights the dynamic relationship between solar activity and Earth's atmospheric phenomena.
