The Northern Lights may be visible across parts of the United States on Tuesday morning.

The Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a geomagnetic storm watch for Tuesday, September 19th. This is due to a coronal mass ejection which was observed on September 14th. The estimated planetary K Index is forecast to near a 6. This means some people across the northern United States may get lucky enough to see a beautiful display!
In order for the Northern Lights to be visible in the Carolinas, the Kp-index must be near an 8 to 9. So in this case, we will not see them here in the Carolinas
