Northern lights expected over part of U.S. Sunday night
- The Northern Lights appeared across several U.S. States late Sunday into early Monday due to geomagnetic storms.
- This event followed a solar flare emitted Friday that triggered geomagnetic storms classified at varying levels, with forecasts differing on their strength.
- NOAA predicts Monday night's aurora borealis could be visible in about 15 states mainly in the far northern U.S., with the best viewing near 1 a.m. Local time.
- NOAA stated, "Aurora is usually not as active and visually appealing in the evening and morning," but strong geomagnetic storms could extend visibility southward.
- The ongoing solar maximum contributes to increased aurora activity expected to continue this year, though geomagnetic storm strength may decline later in the decade.
