# Northern Lights Forecast: Aurora Possible In 19 States On Monday Night

> **Open Intelligence Dossier** · First detected: 2026-06-29 21:07 UTC · Category: Science

## Executive Summary
Solar activity, including a recent X1.3 solar flare, has triggered a series of geomagnetic storms resulting in widespread aurora visibility across the U.S.

## Intelligence Brief
Geomagnetic storms have resulted in aurora visibility across numerous states, with reports indicating a G3 solar storm previously affected 30 states. These events follow solar activity, including an X1.3 solar flare erupting from Region 4482. Forecasts from NOAA have characterized the activity levels as ranging from G1 to G3 geomagnetic storms.


Coverage from outlets including Axios, Forbes, FOX Weather, and Tech Times highlights the shifting visibility maps, which have at various times included up to 19 or more states. Reporting emphasizes the impact of solar eruptions on terrestrial sky displays and radio communications. Future visibility depends on ongoing solar developments and the intensity of geomagnetic storms as predicted by NOAA.


Coverage does not yet specify the duration of the current period of increased solar activity or future specific state-by-state visibility windows.
