G3 storm, Northern lights

What to expect from the strong geomagnetic storm forecast for Tuesday

A coronal mass ejection -- a massive burst of solar material and magnetic field from the sun's outer atmosphere -- is expected to arrive at Earth early to midday Tuesday, according to NOAA. The CME, linked to an M8.1 solar flare, could cause elevated geomagnetic activity and potentially a G3 storm, the third level on the Space Weather Scale.
