A strong geomagnetic storm is forecast for Tuesday, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Space Weather Prediction Center.

Although the storm will move out of the region quickly, its impacts could cause widespread disruptions to daily life.

A winter storm will deliver a punch of snow to millions in the Northeast after it dumps more white stuff on the snowy Midwest.

Fueling the storm will be a “very impressive” source of moisture from an atmospheric river, forecasters said. Flooding is forecast on more than a dozen rivers in Washington and Oregon.

Storm Bram follows Storm Amy in October, which caused travel disruption, power cuts and storm damage to thousands of homes across the UK. Named by Ireland's national weather service, Met Éireann, Storm Bram caused ongoing disruption throughout Tuesday before clearing on Wednesday.

Swirling underwater eddies are aggressively melting two Antarctic glaciers, a recent study found, including the one that could raise sea levels by multiple feet.

The same geomagnetic storm that makes aurora sightings likely can disrupt power systems, navigation signals, and satellites.
