The brief

Solar eruptions and ejections are triggering geomagnetic storms, potentially making the Northern Lights visible across various U.S. states. Visibility forecasts have fluctuated between 9 and 19 states across different nights, including specific mentions of Montana, Michigan, and Vermont.

Coverage from NOAA, Forbes, and FOX Weather emphasizes the potential for G1–G2 geomagnetic storms. India Today reports that a solar eruption also triggered a radio blackout over North America, while other outlets like Digital Camera World advise photographers to prepare tripods for the event.

Observers are monitoring whether the auroras will remain visible through July 4. Future developments depend on the strength of the geomagnetic storms and solar activity levels.
