After two massive solar flares exploded from the sun this week displays of Northern Lights are likely. Here's the aurora forecast.
Two massive solar flares exploded from the sun this week and now weather forecasters are watching space closely to see how the two events will impact Earth, including displays of Northern Lights. A massive solar flare was ejected from the sun on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the Sun emitted the strongest solar flare in seven years on Thursday.The Space Weather Prediction Center had issued a Geomagnetic Storm Watch from Thursday through Saturday after an X7.1, the third-strongest of the solar cycle.
The next day, the current Geomagnetic Storm Watch could be extended or upgraded to a warning. If the SWPC forecasts a severe Geomagnetic Storm, Northern Lights could be visible as far south as the Carolinas.In the picture above, the SWPC predicts the intensity and location of the aurora borealis Friday night over North America showing a 'viewline' that represents the southernmost locations from which you may see the aurora on the northern horizon.
