AccuWeather: Northern lights may glow over parts of US this week

Share: After years of slumber, a solar flare burst from the sun toward Earth is tempting a rare glimpse at the northern lights for areas farther south than normal and becoming the latest sign that the sun is waking up.
The solar flare erupted from the sun on Monday and produced a coronal mass ejection (CME) of plasma from the sun s atmosphere, which will interact with the Earth s atmosphere through Thursday. As a result, NOAA s Space Weather Prediction Center is forecasting a multi-day solar storm that is expected to peak Wednesday night into Thursday morning at G-3 intensity (strong) on a scale ranging from G-1 (minor) to G-5 (intense).
