Arizona is ranked as the best U.S. state for viewing the Northern Lights due to its dry air, dark skies, and clear nights, with other top states including Nevada, New Mexico, and Alaska, all benefiting from favorable geographic and atmospheric conditions for aurora visibility.
Space weather forecasters have issued a geomagnetic storm watch, warning of potential interference with radio transmissions and the possibility of stunning aurora viewing. The outburst of plasma from a solar flare could affect high-frequency radio transmissions and satellite tracking, but is not expected to cause major disruptions. This event is part of the sun's active solar maximum cycle, occurring approximately every 11 years, and provides an opportunity for those at higher latitudes to witness beautiful night skies.
