The Brief

The Northern Lights were visible across parts of North Texas on Tuesday night, including Azle and Santo, ahead of a strong geomagnetic storm.

A powerful solar eruption is expected to reach Earth by midday Wednesday, prompting a G4 "severe" geomagnetic storm watch.

The storm could make auroras visible as far south as Alabama and may temporarily disrupt power grids and communications.

GRAYSON COUNTY, Texas - The Northern Lights are already visible in parts of North Texas as a strong geomagnetic storm approaches Earth.
