A geomagnetic storm should put the AGLOW sky in the northern part of the United States on Sunday evening Monday morning, with the Northern Lights potentially visible as far south as Alabama to northern California, according to the National Oceanic and Atmosphric Administration of atmospheric administration Space meteorological prediction center.
The geometric storm reached a severe force early Sunday morning. Although we did not expect to be as intense as The one in May 2024 This flooded the sky around the world with Shawn Dahl Léger, service coordinator for the space prediction center, said that Sunday would be an excellent night to see the lights where the sky is clear.
“Monday evening would be another night to watch, especially in the most northern places,” said Dahl. “But for those who are impatient to see the Aurora, where they generally do not see it, the best chance would be Sunday evening.”
The lights should be the most vivid in the northern states, such as Michigan and the state of Washington. They can also be visible on the horizon in the middle latitudes, from Oregon and northern California across the country in the middle of the Atlantic, and in the south.
The places with the best potential in clear sky on Sunday evening include a large part of the North West Pacific, especially earlier in the night, as well as a good part of Northern California.
The central plains in the Ohio valley, in most of the Midwest and the Mid-Atlantic could offer good vision opportunities.
