Northern Lights show possible again for Thursday night

If the clouds cooperate, you could be in store for another light show in the sky Thursday night. 

 

The National Oceanic Space Weather Prediction Center issued a G3 (strong) geomagnetic storm watch for Thursday after entering the area as a G1 (minor) geomagnetic storm on Wednesday. If the storm materializes, the Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, could be seen as far south as portions of Pennsylvania and Iowa.  While the Auroras are pretty to look at, NOAA warns there could be issues with navigation, operations with radios and satellites, and the power grid. Wednesday appears to have been the better opportunity to see the Northern Lights, with meteorologists predicting more cloud cover for Thursday.
