AdvertisementThere's a chance you'll be able to see the northern lights in Ohio, Kentucky, IndianaAdvertisementThere's a chance you'll be able to see the northern lights in Ohio, Kentucky, IndianaThe northern lights over Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana?The chances are quite small -- but hey -- at least there’s a chance.According to the Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC), a coronal mass ejection (CME) from the sun is expected to reach the earth’s atmosphere Wednesday night through Thursday night.That solar energy can result in the breathtaking auroral displays visible at both the north and south poles.Typically, the stronger the CME, the better the chances for areas that don't normally see the northern lights to get a glimpse. As a result of the incoming CME, the SWPC has issued a geomagnetic storm watch. These watches are issued on a scale of 1 to 5 based on how strong the CME is expected to be, with 5 being the most intense. The watch for both Wednesday and Thursday night has ratings that are G1, G2 and G3.The map included shows the farthest southern extent one might be able to see the northern lights based on the expected Intensity of the CME.Yes, that line is to our north, but one of the most difficult things for the SWPC to predict is the intensity of CMEs. If Wednesday's CME is a little more intense than what is expected, then maybe – just maybe.Hey, it’s worth a trip outside later tonight – maybe we’ll get lucky!The northern lights over Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana?The chances are quite small -- but hey -- at least there’s a chance.AdvertisementAccording to the Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC), a coronal mass ejection (CME) from the sun is expected to reach the earth’s atmosphere Wednesday night through Thursday night.That solar energy can result in the breathtaking auroral displays visible at both the north and south poles.Typically, the stronger the CME, the better the chances for areas that don't normally see the northern lights to get a glimpse.
