Strong Geomagnetic Storm Watch continues, see Northern Lights timing

1 week ago | mlive.com | Mark Torregrossa

The measurement of geomagnetic energy is high now. If this high energy stream continues after dark, Michigan will have a good chance at seeing northern lights. The Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) now says the Kp Index is 6. This means the geomagnetic energy is strong enough for northern lights to be see as far south as southern Michigan. This will be the case this evening if the stream of energy continues to hit our upper atmosphere.

The weather set-up Friday is going to be very different from what we’ve had so far this spring. A large temperature change over a small area will put half of Lower Michigan in a summer-like air mass. The high temperature map for Friday gives you a really good visual on this large temperature gradient from south to north. From Saginaw to Mount Pleasant to Big Rapids and southward the afternoon temperatures should soar to the 75 degree to 80 degree range.

Strong Geomagnetic Storm Watch issued as sunspot energy heads toward Earth

1 week ago | mlive.com | Mark Torregrossa

Multiple Coronal Mass Ejections are heading toward Earth. This has caused the Space Weather Prediction Center to issue a strong geomagnetic storm watch. A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) is a swath of magnetic energy shot out of the sun. When this energy hits Earth’s upper atmosphere it can produce northern lights. This G3 strong geomagnetic storm watch means we could have northern lights in Michigan.
Easter weather across Michigan starts frigid, becomes spring-like

This forecast for Easter is a short one because the weather story is very simple across the entire state. We don’t have a storm system over Michigan on Easter, at least during the daylight hours. The surface map below shows nothing going on as far as rain or snow. It should be a sunny morning and a mostly sunny afternoon. We will start very cold. The southern half of Lower Michigan will have early morning temperatures in the 30s.
