Solar storm WARNING: Geomagnetic storm watch issued for TOMORROW as Sun blasts Earth

In its space weather forecast for the weekend, the SWPC said aurora effects are likely to extend south from the polar regions to the northernmost US states.

These include South Dakota, Montana, Washington, New York, Main and Pennsylvania.

On the three-day forecast track, the SWPC does not expect any significant solar radiation storms to form.

But there is a slight possibility of minor radio blackouts between Friday, March 22, and Sunday, March 24.
