Northern lights forecast: See projected aurora map for July 23
Some areas in Alaska and Canada could see a show in the night sky on July 23, while chances of catching the aurora in the northern contiguous U.S are lower. Parts of nearly a dozen states along the northern tier of the U.S. have a low chance of seeing aurora borealis due to minor geomagnetic activity, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Space Weather Prediction Center. NOAA predicted a geomagnetic K-index of 4 for Wednesday, July 23. That lowers its previous projection of a K-index of 5, which would have indicated a minor solar energy event. The K-index measures geomagnetic activity and indicates how far away from the poles the northern lights could be visible, according to NOAA. A Kp score between 3-5 indicates brighter and increased activity, per NOAA. The natural phenomenon, which is formally known as the aurora borealis, can project colorful lights in the night sky thanks to an interaction between the sun's plasma and earth's magnetic field, according to the National Weather Service. When could the northern lights be visible? The aurora is not visible during the daylight hours, and is usually seen just after sunset or just before sunrise, according to NOAA. The best aurora is usually within an hour or two of midnight, according to the agency. Where could the northern lights be visible? See map Parts of 10 states are within NOAA's forecasted "view line" for the northern lights on July 23. The view line indicates the southernmost point where the aurora could be seen on the northern horizon.

Map shows which states are facing dangerous heat
Multiple states are under extreme heat warnings, advisories or watches on Wednesday, July 23 due to a heat dome that is expected to slowly spread east, according to the National Weather Service. The NWS said the remainder of the week features a "strengthening heat dome over the Mississippi Valley today that gradually builds east towards the East Coast by week's end." The weather service said a combination of mid-upper 90s temperatures and humid conditions are a recipe for "oppressive heat indices that range between 110-115 degrees for many areas along and east of the Mississippi River" on Wednesday. By Thursday, July 24, the NWS says the footprint of heat is expected to move east into the Great Lakes and Northeast regions. "While this is not really a record-breaking air mass in terms of high temperatures, some towns and cities will struggle to drop below 80 degrees at night due to the high humidity levels and retention of heat by vast areas of concrete and pavement," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Brett Anderson said Wednesday. "For those that only have a fan or open window to keep cool, sleeping will be difficult for some, with a high risk of dehydration." AccuWeather says temperatures will reach 100 degrees from Texas to western Tennessee "just about every day" for the next week or two. See which areas are facing heat and humidity this week. Heat wave affects nearly 100 million: Heat advisories abound as almost 100 million Americans face 'ridiculous' temps National heat index map: See which states feel hottest The map below identifies areas where the heat index is forecasted to reach NWS-defined levels from "Caution" (80 degrees Fahrenheit) to "Extreme Danger" (above 125 degrees). The heat index measures how hot it actually feels when factoring for humidity. Prolonged exposure to a heat index above 80 degrees can lead to fatigue, as previously reported by USA TODAY. As it gets hotter, the risk continues to increase − potentially resulting in heat stroke or even death. Older adults, children, and outdoor workers are generally at higher risk of heat-related incidents. What is an extreme heat advisory? The weather service issues an Extreme Heat Warning when "extremely dangerous" heat conditions are expected or occurring. People in those areas are urged to avoid outdoor activities, especially during the heat of the day, and to check on family and neighbors. An Extreme Heat Watch is issued when conditions are favorable for an extreme heat event but its occurrence and timing are uncertain. People are warned to suspend all major outdoor activities if a warning is issued. What is a heat dome? Heat dome is not actually a scientific term, according to which says the term does effectively describe the "oppressive" high-pressure atmospheric systems that cause warm air to be pushed to the Earth's surface and trapped there for long periods of time. "The dome traps high-pressure air in one place, like the lid on a pot," the website says. "These large zones of hot air result in a combination of blistering temperatures, devastating wildfires, and drought conditions." Gabe Hauari is a national trending news reporter at USA TODAY.

Scattered showers, thunderstorms roll in across South Florida
South Florida is in for another round of wet weather on Wednesday. Scattered showers and storms will move across parts of South Florida with the potential for some heavy downpours and localized flooding. The Weather Prediction Center has placed Broward, and most of Miami-Dade, under a marginal (level 1) risk of flash flooding. The National Weather Service said Miami-Dade is under a flood advisory until 11:45 a.m. It said additional rainfall amounts of 1 - 3 inches are expected which could lead to minor flooding in low-lying and poor drainage areas. Areas impacted include Miami, Hialeah, Coral Gables, South Miami, Kendall, Doral, Pinecrest, Miami Springs, Sweetwater, West Miami, Medley, Westchester, Olympia Heights, Fountainbleau, University Park, University Of Miami and Miami International Airport. Highs will climb to around 90 degrees in the afternoon, however, when the humidity is factored in, it will feel like the upper 90s and low 100s in some areas. The upper-level area of low pressure that has brought the moisture and rain over the last few days will keep the chance of rain higher on Wednesday. Some lingering moisture on Thursday will lead to some passing showers and storms. However, it will be a transitional day as Saharan dust begins to move in. The Saharan dust and drier air will continue to move in on Friday and through the weekend, lowering the chance of rain. As the rain moves out, the sizzling heat returns. Highs will soar to the low 90s and it will feel like the triple-digits when you factor in the humidity on Saturday and Sunday. The National Hurricane Center is giving the trough of low pressure near the southeastern U.S. coast a 10% chance of development as it moves west-southwestward the next few days. Regardless of development, this system will bring heavy rain to Florida and then the northern Gulf coast through this weekend.
