A G1-G2 geomagnetic storm is predicted tonight (June 25), potentially making the aurora borealis visible in 14 US states, including Alaska, New York, and Oregon. NOAA forecasts a Kp index peak of 5.67, indicating moderate auroral activity. While Alaska has the highest chance, sightings are possible further south, especially in dark locations. However, the June solstice's short nights and twilight might hinder viewing in some areas. The best viewing time is around 1 a.m. local time.
