Auroras could paint the skies Monday (Sept. 16) at much lower latitudes than usual as a "strong" G3-class geomagnetic storm crackles through Earth's atmosphere, according to the latest report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Space Weather Prediction Center.
The northern lights could be visible as far south as Oregon, Iowa and Pennsylvania tonight, with many states along the U.S.-Canada border likely to get a good view, according to NOAA. However, the presence of the nearly full Harvest Moon overhead may make it harder to spot vibrant auroras than it would be on a truly dark night.
