A geomagnetic storm could increase the odds that photographers will be able to capture the Northern Lights this weekend. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a G2 solar storm warning for June 13 and 14.
NOAA's three-day forecast currently predicts the highest solar activity levels this weekend to fall on June 13 between 3:00 and 6:00 UTC, which is about 11 PM Friday to 2 AM Saturday in EST. That could mean a potential aurora sighting as far south as Wyoming, while the UK Met Office predicts Northern England, Northern Ireland, and Scotland may have activity Friday night.
