Look up, Northern Lights possible early Tuesday morning

ALTOONA, PA. (WTAJ) — The Northern Lights could possibly be making a return to Central Pennsylvania.

According to NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC), a powerful geomagnetic storm is expected to impact Earth Monday and Tuesday evening, leaving the potential for the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, to be visible for Pennsylvania.

A G2/G3 storm is not as potent as what we have had in other instances this year, but could still produce some color visible to The Commonwealth.

According to the SWPC Explainer, this incoming storm will produce limited to minor effects to some technological infrastructure.

Some of the weather variables we are keeping an eye on for optimal viewing would, of course, clear skies.

FUTURETRACK keeps the skies clear Monday evening into Tuesday morning.
