The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) has issued a G2 geomagnetic storm warning for March 19 due to possible impact from a coronal mass ejection (CME). Geomagnetic storms are classified using a G-scale, which ranks their intensity from G1 (minor) to G5 (extreme). This is great news for aurora chasers as the predicted G2-level storm could bring northern lights as far south as New York and Idaho, but NOAA's SWPC says there is a chance that G3 levels could be reached, which could lead to aurora sightings deep into mid-latitudes such as Illinois and Oregon. The forecasted spike in geomagnetic activity is driven by the predicted impact from an incoming coronal mass ejection (CME) that launched from the sun on March 16 during an M2.7 solar flare eruption.…
