Northern Lights Expected in New Hampshire and Maine Amid Geomagnetic Storm
Residents of New Hampshire and Maine have a chance to witness the Northern Lights due to a strong geomagnetic storm. The NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a G3 storm watch, indicating that the auroras could be visible further south than usual. The storm is driven by three coronal mass ejections from the Sun, with the first being the most likely to impact Earth. Viewing conditions may be affected by cloud cover, but dark sky locations could enhance visibility. The best viewing times are between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m., with recommendations to use apps like Aurora Reach for real-time alerts.
