(Owen Humphreys/PA via AP, File) The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has reported that 15 US states could see the northern lights tonight and through the weekend. Increased geomagnetic activity is creating a wider viewing range than usual. This is due to high-speed solar winds currently affecting Earth's magnetic is experiencing strong solar winds. These winds are pressing against the planet's magnetic field. As a result, a geomagnetic storm has formed. The NOAA says this storm may lead to visible auroras in many states. The NOAA currently predicts a minor G1 storm. But space weather changes fast. Earlier this week, a surprise G3 storm caused auroras to be seen in 17 states and even reached Italy. That storm was only forecast to be a G1. The current Kp index is expected to peak at 4.67 this weekend. This index measures auroral activity from 0 to 9. A higher number means stronger auroras.

Virgin River Season 7: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on April 26, 2025, 19:00 IST Last updated April 26, 2025, 12:34 IST Virgin River continues to captivate audiences with its heartwarming romance and small-town drama. With Season 6 delivering Mel and Jack's long-awaited wedding, fans are eager for updates on Virgin River Season 7. Here's everything we know about the release date, cast, plot details, and what to expect from Netflix's longest-running original scripted drama. Virgin River Season 7 Release Date Speculation Netflix has not announced an official release date for Virgin River Season 7, but filming began on March 12, 2025, and is scheduled to conclude on June 26, 2025, in British Columbia, Canada. Based on the production timeline for Season 6, which filmed from February to May 2024 and premiered on December 19, 2024, we can make an educated guess. Previous seasons have typically followed a 7- to 12-month post-production period. Given this pattern, Virgin River Season 7 is likely to premiere in late 2025 or early 2026, with many reports leaning toward early 2026 due to the extended filming schedule. Virgin River Season 7 Expected Cast The core cast of Virgin River is expected to return, bringing back the beloved residents of this Northern California town. Here's who to expect: Alexandra Breckenridge as Melinda 'Mel' Monroe, the nurse practitioner navigating married life with Jack. Martin Henderson as Jack Sheridan, Mel's husband and local bar owner. Tim Matheson as Dr. Vernon 'Doc' Mullins, facing challenges with his clinic. Annette O'Toole as Hope McCrea, Virgin River's mayor and Doc's wife. Colin Lawrence as John 'Preacher' Middleton, Jack's friend and chef. Benjamin Hollingsworth as Dan Brady, caught in a love triangle. Zibby Allen as Brie Sheridan, dealing with romantic complications. Sarah Dugdale as Lizzie, expecting a baby with Denny. Kai Bradbury as Denny, preparing for fatherhood. Kandyse McClure as Kaia Bryant, Preacher's love interest and fire chief. Lauren Hammersley as Charmaine Roberts, whose fate remains uncertain after Season 6's cliffhanger. Teryl Rothery as Muriel St. Claire, battling breast cancer. John Allen Nelson as Everett Reid, Mel's biological father, exploring his past. Jessica Rothe and Callum Kerr as young Sarah and Everett, appearing in flashbacks. Virgin River Season 7 Potential Plot Virgin River Season 7 will pick up shortly after the dramatic Season 6 finale, which left fans with multiple cliffhangers. Showrunner Patrick Sean Smith has teased that the season will explore Mel and Jack's 'honeymoon phase' as they build their life on Lilly's farm, though new challenges will test their bond.
