Story summary
  • The U.S. could see northern lights on Monday night, June 29, after a June 26 coronal mass ejection reaches Earth; NOAA expects Kp index of five and a G1 geomagnetic storm with G2.
  • NOAA’s map gives Alaska a aurora chance and low chances for northern Washington, Idaho, Montana, Dakotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
  • Observers should look north between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m., using settings as cameras can see faint aurora earlier.
