Geomagnetic Storm Watch Raises Prospect of Northern Lights Over New Yorkโs Capital Region This Weekend
A moderate geomagnetic storm watch issued by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has raised the possibility that the Northern Lights could be visible across parts of the northern United States, including New Yorkโs Capital Region, this weekend. The display depends on the timing and strength of solar eruptions, cloud cover and local viewing conditions, but forecasters say the odds are better than usual for a rare mid-latitude aurora event.
