Earth will face magnetic storms starting tomorrow. Weather expert Mikhail Leus shared that global forecast centers predict these storms will hit early next week. A large coronal hole stretching between the Sun and Earth will cause these disturbances.

Leus warns there is a smaller 10% chance these storms might grow into strong or very strong G3-G4 class events. The Earth's protective magnetic field will experience disruptions for two full days.
