Aurora Borealis may be visible in the northern U.S. this weekend
For our friends and family well north of here, they stand the checking that off the list this weekend. While a significant early fall snowstorm dominates headlines in the Rockies, a geomagnetic storm will be taking place. According to the Space Weather Prediction Center, this geomagnetic storm is forecast to be a G2. When the aurora was visible here in 2015, that storm was rated a G4. Areas north of the yellow line shown on the map below will have the chance to see it.
