Astrophotographers could be in for some surprise aurora sightings this week if conditions hold. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicts solar winds could help bring a G1 solar storm to northern latitudes on November 25 and 26.
The NOAA three-day forecast is dotted with several predictions of KP levels reaching high enough for a G1 geomagnetic storm. A G1 storm is a minor solar storm, but one that could bring potential northern lights sightings to 14 states in the northern US, including Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Maine, and several others.
