Geomagnetic storms are predicted to bring the aurora borealis to parts of the northern United States and Canada on multiple nights in mid-May. Scientists at NOAA forecast G1-level storms, with potential for G2 if activity increases, making the lights visible as a glow on the northern horizon. The activity is linked to a coronal hole on the sun, which is releasing a fast solar wind stream directed towards Earth. Ideal viewing conditions are enhanced by the new moon, offering darker skies.
