Northern lights were visible in much of the U.S. and across the world Friday. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued a rare watch on Thursday night, warning that the solar flare effects would be worst Friday night but could last all weekend."G4 conditions were observed by around 12:37 p.m. EDT today and significant to severe geomagnetic storming is likely to continue," the agency posted Friday.The storm could produce northern lights as far south in the U.S.
But it was hard to predict and experts stressed it would not be the dramatic curtains of color normally associated with the northern lights, but more like splashes of greenish hues.Friday night into Saturday, the FOX Weather Forecast Center said skies looked clear for most of the northern U.S. with less than 10% cloud cover expected from the Midwest to the Northwest. However, clouds would be around in the Northeast.
