A severe geomagnetic storm on Friday night could make the Northern Lights, also known as the aurora borealis, visible in the skies of Washington state, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
The storm is expected to reach Earth on Saturday, May 11, and could cause disruptions to power grids and communications systems. However, it could also produce spectacular auroral displays, especially in the northern parts of the state.
The best time to see the aurora borealis is typically after midnight, when the sky is darkest. Observers should look for a greenish glow in the sky, which may be accompanied by streaks of red, blue, or purple.
NOAA has issued a geomagnetic storm watch for Friday night and Saturday, meaning that there is a potential for auroral activity. Observers are encouraged to check NOAA's website for updates on the storm's progress.
