Northeast Ohio experiences the northern lights

Look up!

The northern lights could be "very active" this weekend, according to the National Weather Service in Cleveland — and we have a chance to see the phenomenon here in Northeast Ohio.

It comes as the National Weather Service said the Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a rare G4 Severe Geomagnetic Storm Watch for the first time since January 2005.

“The aurora may become visible over much of the northern half of the country, and maybe as far south as Alabama to northern California,” according to the Space Weather Prediction Center.

Sure enough, photos began pouring into 3News of the incredible phenomenon, including from some of our own reporters! Bri Buckley has more: https://www.wkyc.com/article/news/loc... --
