Look for the Northern lights over western Washington this weekend
The Northern Lights may be visible in western Washington this weekend.
What's happening is a large hole in the sun's atmosphere will be facing Earth, spraying solar wind in our direction. When this happens, we have a chance of seeing that greenish glow in the northern horizon.
We will be under whats known as a Geomagnetic Storm Watch beginning Friday evening until Sunday. This will initially start as a G1 Storm (minor solar activity) but could increase to a G2 Storm (moderate solar activity) during its peak.
The last time we saw a minor solar event was between August 30 and September 1 when we did see some aurora activity in western Washington.
