TL;DR Summary

NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a geomagnetic storm warning, potentially leading to stunning aurora displays over the Northern Hemisphere on Sunday and Monday. The storm, caused by solar flares and coronal mass ejections, may reach a G3 rating, allowing for sightings as far south as Washington, Wisconsin, and New York. However, hindrances such as a large storm system and the full Worm Moon may impede visibility. Geomagnetic storms have become more frequent as the Sun approaches the peak of its solar cycle, with Solar Cycle 25 expected to last until 2030.
