US EditionFirst Coast Weather Watchers Capture Rare Glimpse of the Northern Lights in Jacksonville
A G4 severe geomagnetic storm from a coronal mass ejection caused bright auroras visible unusually far south, including Florida and North Carolina.
- On Nov. 11, 2025, a powerful geomagnetic storm arrived, producing auroras seen as far south as Florida's Space Coast and North Carolina, the Space Weather Prediction Center reported.
- Coronal mass ejections on Nov. 9 and Nov. 10 plus a solar flare on Nov. 11 set up the disturbance that produced the aurora, the Space Weather Prediction Center said.
- Photographers and residents captured vivid green and red auroras over Brevard County around 11:30 p.m. Nov. 11, with long-exposure photos showing displays across Alabama, Florida, Massachusetts and Texas.
- The Space Weather Prediction Center warned the storm could affect power, communications and GPS on Wednesday, Nov. 12, and Shawn Dahl said utility grid officials, space launch operations and the White House were notified.
- Auroras rarely reach southern cities like Boston, but NOAA maps showed only a chance as far south as Pennsylvania before the event; Florida's Space Coast last saw a similar display in May 2024.
