Minneapolis' Aquatennial Torchlight Parade canceled due to severe weather
Officials have canceled Minneapolis' Aquatennial Torchlight Parade Wednesday due to the severe weather forecast. The parade, which makes its way down Nicollet Mall, was slated to start at 7:30 p.m. The Twin Cities area is expected to see a mix of dangerous weather conditions Wednesday; a heat advisory is in effect until 8 p.m., and there is a slight risk for severe weather with threats of straight line winds and flooding. "The safety and well-being of our participants, spectators, volunteers, and staff remain our highest priority," the Minneapolis Downtown Council said in a statement. "We are deeply grateful for the time, effort, and enthusiasm of all those involved in bringing this beloved tradition to life, and we share the disappointment of this outcome." The Aquatennial is a civic celebration of the City of Minneapolis. The origins of the event can be traced back to the 1930s, when the city saw a Teamsters truckers strike and anti-union violence that injured 67 people and killed two others. Businessmen believed that a celebratory spectacle would improve and promote the city's reputation, and launched the event which became known as "The 10 Best Days of Summer." The Aquatennial culminates in a fireworks show Saturday evening.

Northern lights forecast: See projected aurora map for July 23
Some areas in Alaska and Canada could see a show in the night sky on July 23, while chances of catching the aurora in the northern contiguous U.S are lower. Parts of nearly a dozen states along the northern tier of the U.S. have a low chance of seeing aurora borealis due to minor geomagnetic activity, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Space Weather Prediction Center. NOAA predicted a geomagnetic K-index of 4 for Wednesday, July 23. That lowers its previous projection of a K-index of 5, which would have indicated a minor solar energy event. The K-index measures geomagnetic activity and indicates how far away from the poles the northern lights could be visible, according to NOAA. A Kp score between 3-5 indicates brighter and increased activity, per NOAA. The natural phenomenon, which is formally known as the aurora borealis, can project colorful lights in the night sky thanks to an interaction between the sun's plasma and earth's magnetic field, according to the National Weather Service. When could the northern lights be visible? The aurora is not visible during the daylight hours, and is usually seen just after sunset or just before sunrise, according to NOAA. The best aurora is usually within an hour or two of midnight, according to the agency. Where could the northern lights be visible? See map Parts of 10 states are within NOAA's forecasted "view line" for the northern lights on July 23.
