Chances of Seeing Northern Lights in the US this Week Slim
TL;DR Summary
Despite reports of a potential solar storm and northern lights show, experts at NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center now believe that the chances of seeing the Northern Lights are low. The Kp Index, which determines the probability of auroras, is forecasted to be relatively low, with a maximum value of 3.67. While the situation could change quickly, for now, the likelihood of a moderate to strong geomagnetic storm between July 12 and July 14 is only one to five percent.
