A strong geomagnetic storm<\/a> is expected to occur on Wednesday, which could mean good news for stargazers around the country.\u00a0<\/p>\n This chance of a severe geomagnetic storm will increase the odds for Americans as far south as Alabama to see the Northern Lights<\/a> in the coming days.\u00a0<\/p>\n A large coronal mass ejection (CME), a massive eruption of plasma from the Sun\u2019s<\/a> corona, is expected to arrive at Earth by midday Wednesday and last into the evening.\u00a0<\/p>\n This sequence of events could trigger a geomagnetic storm, prompting officials to issue a G4 Geomagnetic Storm Watch.<\/p>\n Solar storms are ranked on a scale from G1 to G5, from minor to extreme characterization. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration<\/a> (NOAA), a G4 category storm is characterized as severe, which could cause widespread voltage control issues for various regions.\u00a0<\/p>\n torms of this magnitude can disrupt critical infrastructure, including cellular networks and radio communications.<\/p>\n According to the NOAA, a geomagnetic storm is a significant disturbance of Earth\u2019s magnetosphere that occurs when energy from the solar wind is exchanged into the space environment surrounding Earth<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Source: Information in this article came from FOX Weather.<\/p>\n
