Aurora Alert: Northern States May See Northern Lights Saturday Night

Article excerpt

A geomagnetic storm could bring the northern lights to northern U.S. states bordering Canada this weekend. The aurora borealis may be visible Saturday night into Sunday, June 14, as solar activity intensifies. Sky watchers in states like Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan have the best odds of catching the display, which typically requires clear skies and minimal light pollution. The timing and intensity of auroras remain difficult to predict with precision, though space weather forecasters have flagged the weekend window as promising for northern tier observers.
