Will the northern lights be visible across the Carolinas tonight?
CHARLOTTE (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — There was a significant solar flare that took place Friday evening, which could allow for a geomagnetic storm to impact the Earth! A G4 (severe) geomagnetic storm watch has been issued by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for Sunday night into Monday. As these coronal mass ejections get closer to Earth, that can sometimes allow the aurora borealis or northern lights to become visible. With recent G4 geomagnetic storms, the northern lights have been visible as far south as Northern Alabama and Northern California. That means there is a legit chance we could see the northern lights across the Carolinas late Sunday night into early Monday. There is also something called the Kp index. Whenever that is projected to be between levels 7-8, the Carolinas can tend to get a good viewing of the northern lights. Tonight's projection of the Kp index from NOAA is around 7.5 to 7.6. As always with these situations, there is a lot of uncertainty here and the viewing of the beautiful aurora borealis is not completely guaranteed! But it is worth a shot to at least try to view them. You obviously want to look north, but you want to try to be away from very little light pollution as well. With recent geomagnetic storms, using your camera on your phone can also be a good way to try and view them. The best chance of the viewing will be late Sunday night into early Monday. Peak viewing looks to be between the hours of 11 p.m. Sunday night and 2 a.m. Monday morning. Clouds will hopefully clear out enough following a few storms this evening. Good luck!
