We Could See the Northern Lights Tonight in the Ohio Valley!

NOAA and NASA predict another Northern Lights display Wednesday night with visibility possibly reaching the U.S. Gulf Coast if the geomagnetic storm persists, experts said.

  • NOAA and NASA warn a strong event could let all of Michigan and up to 17 states in the lower 48 see auroras Wednesday night, Nov. 12.
  • NOAA and NASA say an even stronger Coronal Mass Ejection is heading toward Earth and may impact around midday ; the Center said, it's "on track for a midday or so arrival."
  • NOAA notes a G2 geomagnetic storm with a Kp index of 6 on Wednesday night and early Kp readings of 8.67; experts advise viewing after sunset through midnight in dark, open areas using phone night mode 10s exposure.
  • Should the storm maintain severity until after sunset, visibility could reach North Carolina and potentially extend south toward the U.S. Gulf Coast.
  • With the Sun near its cycle maximum, forecasting remains difficult as few measuring devices orbit between Earth and the Sun, making exact predictions nearly impossible, Blocker said.
