Northern lights visible 'as far south as Alabama' Sunday: Where can you see them tonight?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:23:01 GMT

(NEXSTAR) – Many Americans will be rewarded with a treat Monday night if they stay up late, cross their fingers for clear skies, and look up. The northern lights will be visible for a second night in a row in several U.S. states. The dazzling display is thanks to a severe geomagnetic storm that erupted Friday. The effects of the storm were so strong Sunday night, that the aurora was possibly "visible as far south as Alabama and northern California," the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said.The storm was caused by a coronal mass ejections, or CME. CMEs are explosions of plasma and magnetic material from the Sun that can reach Earth in as little as 15 to 18 hours, NOAA explains. Slower CMEs, like the one observed Friday, can take days to impact us.Sunday night's events qualified as a "G4" rating on NOAA's space weather scale. Monday night's events are expected to be weaker. A NOAA spokesperson told Nexstar Monday afternoon that a "G2 Watch" was in effect. MORE:...

Wilson Tower's upper half gone in high-rise's updated plans

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:23:01 GMT

AUSTIN (Austin Business Journal) -- Wilson Capital’s plans for Wilson Tower are moving along, but now call for a significant reduction in height.The downtown apartment tower’s original plans would have made it the tallest building in all of Texas at 1,035 feet tall, but new plans call for a trimming of floors: from 80 to 45, Wilson Capital President Taylor Wilson said. The developer — which is bringing online thousands new apartments across the metro — returned to the drawing board for its most ambitious project in the area after the city of Austin’s Design Commission did not approve of the high-rise’s original design during a January review.
