The Northern Lights, also known as the aurora borealis, are expected to be visible in several US states tonight due to a moderate geomagnetic storm triggered by a sunspot. Space weather forecasters have issued a severe geomagnetic storm watch for Friday evening, May 31, marking the first such alert in 19 years. Viewing conditions are expected to be favorable, with scattered daytime clouds dissipating by sunset. The phenomenon may be visible in regions including New England and possibly as far south as Florida and the DC area.
