Northern Lights forecast: Geomagnetic storms may bring aurora to 20 US states this weekend

Geomagnetic storms are anticipated to bring the possibility of aurora borealis sightings to numerous U.S. states this weekend. A stream of fast-moving solar wind is expected to cause unsettled to active geomagnetic conditions on July 10-11, with a chance of minor G1 storms. A potential coronal mass ejection (CME) arrival on July 11-12 could lead to a moderate G2 storm, potentially allowing aurora to be visible farther south than usual. Clear skies and minimal light pollution will be crucial for viewing opportunities, with cameras being more sensitive to faint displays than the human eye. AI
