Northern Lights Forecast: 10 States May See Aurora Saturday Night

NOAA forecasts a possible G1 geomagnetic storm for April 26–27 after two M1 solar flares and a glancing CME.

The northern lights could be visible in Alaska and parts of nine other northern U.S. states Saturday night.

The aurora outlook depends on space weather conditions, including the Kp index and the CME’s magnetic field.

The event underscores how solar activity can briefly expand aurora viewing far beyond the usual polar regions.
