Northern Lights Could Grace Southeast Michigan Tonight as Solar Storm Approaches

A strong geomagnetic storm watch (G3) has been issued for June 4–5 as multiple coronal mass ejections from the Sun head toward Earth, with a mid-afternoon arrival and potential continued activity into the evening. Southeast Michigan could see the Northern Lights, especially if skies stay clear and you’re away from city lights; viewing may be aided by a phone night mode. Auroras can be visible even when not directly overhead, depending on atmospheric conditions and gas interactions high in the atmosphere.
