Northern Lights to Grace US Skies Amid Geomagnetic Storm

A moderate geomagnetic storm may allow aurora borealis sightings in several northern US states through Tuesday night.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicts the aurora borealis will be visible in parts of Alaska, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan on Monday and Tuesday nights.
The geomagnetic storm, caused by a coronal hole high-speed stream, is rated 2 out of 5 on NOAA's space weather scale.
The best viewing times for the northern lights are between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. local time, according to NOAA.
Tuesday night is expected to have a stronger forecast with a Kp index of 4, slightly increasing the chances of aurora visibility.
The current solar cycle, nearing its maximum phase, is contributing to more frequent and intense auroral displays.
