ScienceABC NewsMultiple solar eruptions could spark auroras across the northern US starting tonight
Multiple solar eruptions this week could produce aurora borealis visible as far south as New York and Wisconsin in the US from Thursday night into Friday.
NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a moderate Geomagnetic Storm Watch after a coronal mass ejection left the sun on Tuesday headed toward Earth.
The aurora borealis could be visible as far south as New York, Wisconsin and Washington state, with the UK Met Office noting a slight chance of stronger G3 storm levels.
A second smaller CME is also expected to deliver a glancing blow over the weekend, keeping solar conditions unsettled, though cloud cover will affect visibility.
