"Potential Northern Lights Display in Northeastern US Sparks Excitement and Concern"
TL;DR Summary
A geomagnetic storm caused by a Coronal Mass Ejection from the Sun could lead to a vivid display of the Northern Lights in parts of the upper Midwest and northern U.S. through Wednesday night. However, the presence of clouds may obscure the view for many areas. The storm watch issued by NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center helps inform industries of potential impacts, but the public is not expected to be affected. The intensity of the geomagnetic storm can be measured by the "Kp" index, with a Kp 6 forecast offering the best chance to see the Northern Lights.
