A minor geomagnetic storm driven by a speedy solar wind is expected to produce visible auroras across multiple U.S. states from August 18 to 19, 2025. Space weather experts and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) forecast that the Northern Lights may be seen from Alaska extending as far south as Iowa, with visibility potentially spanning 14 to 16 states including Wisconsin. The geomagnetic activity could alter the typical viewing area, expanding the range where the aurora borealis might be observed. This natural light display is anticipated to provide a notable night sky event for residents in these regions.
