The storm could produce a Kp index of more than 5 Friday night, Aug. 28, leading to potentially strong aurora borealis , or northern lights, visibility. Friday, the aurora could be overhead in the Upper Peninsula and visible throughout the state to the north.

If you aren't willing to travel Up North, forecasters are predicting when the leaves will turn in the Capital region, too.
