Geomagnetic storm could make northern lights visible in our region again

 


The above photo was taken in Bates county on May 10th, 2024 and we could see an encore presentation starting tomorrow, possibly running through Tuesday. 

According to an alert issued by the Space Weather Prediction Center, those as far south as Alabama may be able to view the spectacular light show after the sun released a powerful coronal mass ejection on Friday evening, May 30. 

The alert issued was a G4 (Severe) Geomagnetic Storm Watch with the highest level of impact happening over the next 24 hours, which  could affect some wireless communications.
