SPOKANE, Wash. — If you’re lucky, you might get to spot the Northern Lights for the second night in a row.
Another blast of particles from the sun is set to reach Earth on Wednesday, which should keep the planet’s magnetic field disturbed. Separate solar storm impacts on Tuesday led to the spectacular aurora that many people around the United States saw on Tuesday night. This image shows a computer model of solar activity. Earth is the green dot while the sun is in the center of the circle.

Wednesday’s CME (Coronal Mass Ejection) is unlikely to be as energetic as what happened on Tuesday. Still, it only takes one substorm of aurora borealis to make it a memorable night.
Unfortunately, sky conditions will be mostly cloudy again around the Inland Northwest. Even with a chance that clouds ruin everything, the odds of seeing something are a lot better than your average night.
