A powerful solar storm could spark auroras as far south as northern California and Alabama on Wednesday, thanks to a particularly rambunctious area on the sun dubbed active region 4274 (AR4274). In recent days the region has unleashed multiple outbursts, including a solar flare that ranks as one of the most powerful of the current solar cycle.
CBS LA Chief Meteorologist Paul Deanno said it will be the "coldest storm since mid-March" with most temperatures being 64 degrees or cooler over four days.
An incoming winter storm will hit parts of California with at least 2 feet of snow, prompting National Weather Service (NWS) meteorologists to warn residents of the impacts.
The Great Lakes’ water is usually much warmer than the air temperature in early November. That is one factor that feeds a storm system as it travels over the Great Lakes. The warm water acts as an energy source, and causes a storm system to reach peak strength over Lake Superior, Lake Michigan or Lake Huron.
