Multiple coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are forecast to impact Earth on September 8 and 9, potentially causing a G1 geomagnetic storm. This could make the northern lights visible in 11 US states. The northern lights, also known as the aurora borealis, are caused by charged particles from the sun interacting with the Earth's magnetic field.
A G1 geomagnetic storm watch has been issued for September 8 and 9, indicating that conditions are favorable for viewing the northern lights. The visibility of the northern lights will depend on cloud cover and other atmospheric conditions. However, the forecast is not a guarantee, and the northern lights may not be visible even in the affected areas.
The Watchers reports that multiple CMEs are forecast to impact Earth, and USA Today lists the states that have a chance to see the northern lights.
