Northern lights may be visible in 10 states Jan. 20 as Earth's magnetic field 'rings like a bell' after CME impact
Earth is still reverberating from the colossal coronal mass ejection ( CME) that struck on Jan. 19, triggering dazzling aurora displays worldwide. And while tonight's show (Jan. 20) may be somewhat more subdued, the solar storm isn't quite over — so keep your camera batteries charged and your aurora alerts on.
Northern lights could be on display across several states Monday. Here's where.
The predicted "view line," or the southernmost spot where skygazers might still be able to view the northern lights, includes more than two dozen states.

Severe G4 Geomagnetic Storm Watch issued, Northern Lights forecast
A G-4 Geomagnetic Storm Watch has been issued for tonight and early Tuesday. This is considered a severe solar storm watch, which means we are likely to see highly elevated geomagnetic activity on Earth - and we have a good chance to see Northern Lights reach as far south as Alabama and California.
Northern Lights could return to California on Monday. You'll want to escape the fog in Sacramento to see them
The Northern Lights could return to Northern California on Monday. A coronal mass ejection, known as a CME, arrived from the sun earlier than expected on Monday and was creating a strong geomagnetic storm in Earth's magnetic field, which has the potential to impact power grids, space operations and radio and satellite communications.
