TL;DR Summary

Experts predict that the Northern lights will be visible from U.S. states as far south as Colorado and Missouri on Tuesday due to a notable geomagnetic storm caused by a coronal mass ejection from the sun. The storm is expected to peak between 06:00 and 09:00 UTC on September 19. While the exact timing is uncertain, a G2-class storm can often result in impressive displays of the Northern lights. Geomagnetic activity tends to increase around the equinoxes, and the best viewing locations are typically in the Arctic Circle.
