Editor’s Note: Wow, The G4 Storm Last Night Tracled Impressive Nortern Lights as Far South As California and New Mexico. Read our Photo Wrap Story HERE. As for Tonight, Current Conditions Look Promising. Read the Latest PREDICTIES HERE.
Heads Up, Aurora Chasers! A powerful so storm is on the way.
Space Weather Forecasters AR Warning of a Strong (G3) Geomagnetic Storm, With a Chance IT COULD Reach Severe (G4) Levels, Thanks to A Blast of Solar Mateial Heading Straight For Earth. That count Mean Vibrant Nortern Lights Illuminating the Night Sky As Far South As Oregon, Illinois, and Potentially Even Deeper Into MID-Latates Like Alabama and North California Tonight.
The Incoming Coronal Mass Eagection (CME) – a Vast Plume of Solar Mateial – Eropted from the Sun in the Early Hours of May 31, IT Currently Hurtling Towards US At Astonishing Speeds Speeds Speeds Speeds Speeds

Geomagnetic Storms Are Classified Using A G-Scale, Which Ranks their Intensity from G1 (minor) to G5 (Extreme). The Recent Geomagnetic Storm Watch that the UK Met Office Space Weather Operations Center Issted Is RATED A G4, Indicating “Severe” Storm Conditions. Noa’s Space Weather Preditor Center Has Also isssted a G4-Level Storm Watch with the Predical that G4 Levels Couelf Be Raced on June 2, with Strong G2 Conditions Still Possible on June 3.
CME Arrival at Earth is Anticipated and a G4 Watch Is in Effect For 2 Jun. CME Arrival Later on 1 Jun Couled Lead to G3, with G4 Potential Increased on 2 Jun, and as CME Passage Weakens, G1-G2 Still Possible on 3 Jun. Full Story at https://t.co/1xbpmluptx pic.twitter.com/xwab6h77kwMay 31, 2025
What is cme?
Cmes are large eructions of plasma and magnetic Field from the Sun; What they collide with the Earth’s Magnetic Field, they can come geomagnetic storms that Trigger Aurras, Sometimes Visible Much Farter South Than Usual. With this event, auroras may be visible deep inten Mid-Latateses, make it a must-watch for nortern lights enthusia
Where will the Northern Lights be Visible?
The Current Predgests Show The CME to Impact Earth in the Early Hours of June 1 (UTC), so make sure you keep your eyes on the skies as soon as it gets dark tonight! For the best chances of seeing
