A G4 Geomagnetic Solar Storm Watch has been issued for Sunday night into Monday — and that means the Northern Lights could be visible right here in Ohio!
This potential light show is part of a larger pattern: the Sun is currently in an intense phase of its 11-year solar cycle, known as solar maximum. During this time, solar activity like flares and eruptions is far more frequent — and Solar Cycle 25 has already surpassed expectations, sparking auroras in places that rarely see them. Scientists say this elevated activity could last into mid-2025, possibly as part of an even bigger 100-year pattern of heightened solar energy.
Keep your eyes on the sky and stay tuned — if the storm holds, we could be in for another unforgettable night in Ohio.
