Space Weather Forecast: CME, Solar Winds May Trigger G1 Storms, Boost Auroras

2025-08-08T11:00:06.000Z Heads up aurora chasers! The northern lights could illuminate skies overnight on Aug. 8-9 as an incoming coronal mass ejection (CME) and speedy solar winds may spark geomagnetic storm conditions, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Though only a glancing blow is predicted from the CME, any impact could disrupt Earth's magnetic field, which in turn can trigger geomagnetic storms and impressive auroras.
