A potential display of the northern lights, or aurora borealis, is expected to enchant the skies over Wisconsin and Michigan following a recent solar eruption.
Forecasters are monitoring a massive sunspot that has been responsible for spectacular aurora displays in the past.
As this sunspot continues its journey across the sun, it remains visible from Earth, creating a window of opportunity for potential sightings.
Viewing Conditions The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has issued an alert for a G2 geomagnetic storm, indicating moderate solar activity
This level of activity increases the likelihood of auroras being visible in northern regions of the U.S., particularly in states like Wisconsin and Michigan.
Ideal Locations In Wisconsin, Door County is a prime spot for viewing the northern lights due to its dark skies and minimal light pollution.
In Michigan, the Upper Peninsula offers some of the best conditions for aurora viewing. Areas like Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Munising, and the M-28 pullouts near Marquette are excellent choices.
