Will US See the Northern Lights Again Wednesday? Here’s the Forecast
Solar activity at its 11-year peak caused widespread auroras visible far south, including Florida and Maryland, NOAA said the geomagnetic storms reached strong to severe levels.
- On Nov. 11, 2025, a powerful geomagnetic storm produced auroras visible as far south as Florida and across much of the U.S., stunning skygazers in Oklahoma, the Mid-Atlantic and beyond.
- Following two fast-moving coronal mass ejections observed Sunday and Monday, scientists say the sun is at the maximum phase of its 11-year cycle, increasing aurora likelihood.
- NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center rated the G4 storm and forecasts a Kp index up to 8, with Nov. 12 forecasted to hit a 6, possibly lighting auroras across several states.
- Forecasters warned severe geomagnetic storms could disrupt radio and GPS systems, temporarily affect power grids and satellites, and SWPC alerted infrastructure operators to mitigate issues.
- NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration say the sun's active spurt will last through this year, with storms strongest since Oct. 10, 2024, following last year's intense storm and historical storms of 1859 and 1972.

Northern lights dazzle US as far south as Georgia
A powerful solar storm lit up the sky across much of the United States on Nov. 12, bringing the northern lights to areas that rarely see them. The vibrant glow of the aurora borealis lit up cities as far south as Atlanta, with faint ribbons of pink and green visible above the skyline. In the northern states, the show was nothing short of spectacular — brilliant streaks of color stretching across the skies in New Jersey, Massachusetts and Minneso…
