Under the best conditions, the northern lights could be visible as far south as Washington and Oregon. Here's the best chance to see them.
An ongoing geomagnetic storm will continue to bring displays of northern lights to Canada, the northern U.S. and Midwest through the rest of the week as the sun releases rounds of energy with a trajectory toward Earth.NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder first issued a geomagnetic storm watch on Monday, alerting of a potential G3 solar storm Tuesday.
Scientists use the Kp-index to characterize the magnitude of geomagnetic storms, and the SWPC uses it to decide whether it issues geomagnetic storm alerts. The greatest Kp-index levels are forecast to happen on Wednesday, reaching 6 out of 9 on the geomagnetic storm scale. Early Tuesday, the Kp recorded was a 5 with minor geomagnetic storming."Should the forecast conditions occur during the late evening hours, the aurora could become visible at times as far south as the northeast U.S.
