The Northern Lights May be Visible in Pennsylvania Tonight!
Woah! This is awesome! I was fortunate to see a really faint version of The Northern Lights when I was in Iceland a few years ago, so the fact we might be able to see them here in PA in incredible!
The NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center put a Geomagnetic Storm Watch into effect from Dec. 9 through Dec. 11, with the strongest storm level (G3) forecast for Thursday night, Dec. 10. The storm level drops to G2 on Friday night, reducing the probability that the aurora borealis will be seen this far south.
#Aurora forecast looks good tonight! This is one of the first CMEs (coronal mass ejections) of the newest solar cycle – the biggest so far and aimed right at Earth. This means you may not need to stay up so late to see some aurora!@UAFGI aurora forecast: https://t.co/7CCzR6kOom pic.twitter.com/hV4rvhkct3
