That means there is a chance Southeast Michigan could see the northern lights this week, though not likely to be as vibrant as what we saw back in May. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 LrBIp htMUPQ article-text\">Geomagnetic storms are caused by explosions on the Sun\u2019s surface which sends huge amounts of plasma shooting into space and eventually into Earth\u2019s atmosphere. The solar flare that erupted today is from an area of the sun known for numerous sunspots. The area is called \u201cActive Region 3842\u201d and was rated an x7.1. Flares are rated on a severity scale just like hurricanes and tornadoes. B-class are the weakest and x-class the strongest. So, this flare is quite powerful. NOAA\u2019s Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a watch with a minor storm expected to hit Thursday Oct 3 and a stronger geomagnetic storm to hit Friday October 4th. That\u2019s the night you might want to grab your phone and snap some pics of the night sky. If we can the Northern Lights, keyword \u201cif,\u201d you will likely not be able to see it with the naked eye. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 LrBIp htMUPQ article-text\">The Earth\u2019s two equinoxes bring an increase in geomagnetic storm frequency due to a phenomenon known as the Russel-McPherron effect. The alignment of the Earth\u2019s magnetosphere and the Sun\u2019s magnetic field become aligned. This prevents charged particles of the Sun from being deflected away from Earth as they often do during the solstices. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 LrBIp htMUPQ article-text\">Geomagnetic storms are incredibly difficult to predict. But Thursday and Friday we will have a better idea of the timing and strength of the Northern Lights here in Southeast Michigan. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 iIBoYd copyright\">Copyright 2024 by WDIV ClickOnDetroit &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__BaseDivider-sc-1fnzlkn-8 NJMqq iWGCIx\"\/><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<section class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__GridBase-sc-1fnzlkn-10 dvXAVs jiqIgx gridChain\">\n<div class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__GridBase-sc-1fnzlkn-10 dxbuSC kOSmNN gridContent\">\n<div class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__StackBase-sc-1fnzlkn-7 kuCSlp dgEFEb\" id=\"bio\">\n<h5 class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__HeadingBase-sc-1fnzlkn-6 duJNOi\">About the Author<\/h5>\n<div class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__StackBase-sc-1fnzlkn-7 jyEYNi ixNmhr author-container\">\n<div class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__StackBase-sc-1fnzlkn-7 uUbis dgEFEb author\">\n<figure class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__StackBase-sc-1fnzlkn-7 dkasrr cblvkA\" aria-labelledby=\":R3j9qa:\"><figcaption id=\":R3j9qa:\" class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 cjsNDM\">Kim Adams headshot<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__StackBase-sc-1fnzlkn-7 kuCSlp dgEFEb\">\n<div class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__StackBase-sc-1fnzlkn-7 kuCSlp lOECr\">\n<h5 class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__HeadingBase-sc-1fnzlkn-6 mAbXV\"><a class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__LinkBase-sc-1fnzlkn-9 dSWRbI gsBSmK\" href=\"https:\/\/www.clickondetroit.com\/team\/kimadams\/\" itemprop=\"url\"><span itemprop=\"name\">Kim Adams<\/span><\/a><\/h5>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 dQmmsT RpIvn\">Emmy-award winning Meteorologist Kim Adams rejoined the 4Warn Weather Team in August 2022.
