Solar storms may cause faint auroras overnight in parts of Northern Hemisphere

People in Canada and northern U.S. cities like Seattle and Minneapolis may see faint auroras late Thursday night and into Friday morning due to moderate solar storms. Experts say the current forecast hints at faint colorful displays in Canada and northern U.S. cities like Seattle and Minneapolis. But if storms become more intense, the phenomenon could be glimpsed as far south as Chicago and New York City. The sun’s magnetic field is currently at the peak of its 11-year cycle, making storms and aurora displays more frequent. Experts expect minimal disruptions to GPS and power grids. People in Canada and northern U.S. cities like Seattle and Minneapolis may see faint auroras late Thursday night and into Friday morning due to moderate solar storms.
