A La Niña winter just started, but it isn't expected to last long. National forecasters are already looking ahead to the spring season.

Sky gazers in Wisconsin may have another chance to see the northern lights on Thursday and Friday, according to the NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC). The northern lights may be visible in Wisconsin Thursday and Friday night, the SWPC's forecast says.

A coronal mass ejection earlier this week may pull the northern lights to more northern U.S. states, forecasters said.

The agency expects a minor or greater geomagnetic storm—a disturbance of Earth’s magnetic field—on Saturday, which increases the likelihood of northern lights displays being visible to more people, as the effects of a recent coronal mass ejection reach Earth, according to NOAA’s three-day forecast.

Another display of the northern lights could be visible this weekend in several U.S. states following a severe solar storm.

NOAA's video of a juvenile king crab, found during a Gulf of Mexico operation, went viral for its unique appearance. Researchers say the crab hitched a ride from 3,477 feet deep, inspiring fan art ...

The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration released a study analyzing the annual prognostications of weather-predicting groundhogs and found the most famous, Punxsutawney Phil, didn't crack the top 10.

The ice coverage in Lake Erie has rapidly expanded to 80% this week. February and March are peak maximum ice coverage periods for the Great Lakes.

While we don’t expect our temperatures to get as cold the rest of winter, there’s more snow coming, and one storm may dump a massive amount of accumulation.

The Great Lakes region is a major recipient of federal funding to protect and clean up the basin as well as protect its rich history.

The effects of a coronal mass ejection—a bubble of plasma that bursts from the sun’s surface—will likely impact Earth’s magnetic field on Saturday, bringing the northern lights to several northern U.S. states, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

The definition: An atmospheric river (AR) is a long plume of moisture that stretches from the tropics or subtropics into higher latitudes, often thousands of miles long. These thin ribbons of humid air can be identified and tracked in satellite imagery and computer model forecasts.
