"Potential Tech Disruptions and Northern Lights Forecasted as Solar Storm Approaches Earth"

TL;DR Summary
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a geomagnetic storm watch after a coronal mass ejection from the sun, which is expected to cause a moderate solar storm on Earth on Monday and Tuesday. While the storm may disrupt navigation systems and electrical power networks, it is not expected to have major impacts on everyday life. The northern lights may be visible in the northern and upper Midwest states, and more frequent aurora displays are likely in the coming years as the sun reaches the solar maximum stage of its magnetic field activity in 2025.
