Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:20:59 GMT

ST. LOUIS -- A lot of people were surprised to see the Northern Lights as far south as Missouri Sunday night, and they may be visible again Monday. Images of the aurora borealis have been shared from rural locations north of St. Louis.This pic was taken by Layne Knoche in Macoupin County, Illinois, Sunday night. NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center says that the geomagnetic storm that earth is experiencing is starting to wane. So, this is probably the last night you'll be able to see the lights this far south for some time.The forecast calls for clear skies in much of Missouri and Illinois tonight. You should not expect to see a light show in the sky if you're watching from Missouri. The best views will be in rural areas with no light pollution. Look to the north for a chance to see them. If you do manage to spot them, the lights may be very faint. Top story: Private messages reveal St. Louis warning siren issues A minor solar flare Friday sparked a geomagnetic storm watch thr...
