Auroral Event The Weekend (2026-04-17&18)

[Randy Zipser]

Friday will be the major tornado-outbreak day on the Plains, however, for those along the northern tier behind this weather, some good auroral activity will also be visible due to a "hole" in the sun that has spewed a lot of solar wind towards Earth, particularly the U.S., this weekend. Details are linked below:

Northern lights may be visible from several US states Friday and Saturday as giant hole opens up in sun's atmosphere

Happy Chasing...tornadoes or auroras!

Oooh nice..
..but sounds like I'd be too far south for it.
Though not going to matter either way, because snow & cold is moving in here for Fri day/night.
