Summary: A series of solar flares and coronal mass ejections from the sun may create auroras visible as far south as Alabama and Northern California, while also disrupting communications. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued a severe geomagnetic storm watch, the first since 2005. The sun is nearing its peak activity in an 11-year cycle, with researchers observing intense solar flares. Solar storms can impact infrastructure and pose risks for space missions.
