"Get Ready: Northern Lights May Illuminate Western New York Skies"

A strong X-class solar flare is heading towards Earth, potentially causing auroras visible in WNY over the next few nights. Weak auroras may be visible tonight, with the main event expected Sunday night to Monday night, reaching G2-G3 geomagnetic storm levels. However, the nearly full Moon and unpredictability of solar flares make the exact timing and impact uncertain, so disappointment is possible.
