Northern Lights to illuminate skies over many U.S. states including Alaska, Washington, Montana, North Dakota and Minnesota.
Solar storms could bring auroras to the skies over parts of the Northern Hemisphere late Thursday into early Friday morning.According to space weather forecasts, people in Canada and the northern United States, including states like Alaska, Washington, Montana, North Dakota, and Minnesota, might see subtle, colorful displays.The auroras are expected to be faint and the storms aren't likely to cause significant issues for power grids or communication systems, experts say.
Earlier this year, unusually strong solar storms produced vibrant auroras across much of the Northern Hemisphere, dazzling viewers from Canada to the northern United States and Europe.However, tonight's storms are expected to be less intense than those seen in May. While they aren't expected to cause major issues, they could still result in brief disruptions to precision GPS systems.
