Northern Lights possible Thursday night for northern US states

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has forecasted a possibility of viewing the northern lights in several northern U.S. states along the Canadian border on Thursday, June 18th, into Friday, June 19th. While not a major geomagnetic storm, NOAA predicts KP 4 conditions, which could make the aurora visible in areas like Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, northern Wisconsin, and southern Alaska, provided skies are clear. Aurora watchers are advised to look north, avoid light pollution, and utilize cameras or specialized apps for real-time updates on space weather conditions, such as the interplanetary magnetic field's Bz component.
