Forbes: Northern Lights Forecast: These 8 States May See Aurora Borealis Tonight
Northern states in the U.S. may witness the northern lights on Wednesday night, with a Kp index forecast of three, potentially reaching 4.67 due to a minor geomagnetic storm. The lights are expected to be visible in areas including Alaska, Canada, and parts of several northern states.
For optimal viewing, NOAA advises finding a dark, unobstructed location facing north between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. The increased visibility of the aurora borealis is attributed to heightened solar activity as the sun approaches its solar maximum.
