The northern lights could be visible from several states on Tuesday night as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric predicts continued minor to moderate geomagnetic storm conditions, days after the sun produced some of the strongest solar flares in years.
States included in the northern lights’ potential view line include Alaska, Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, according to the NOAA. The chance for an aurora borealis sighting in most of these states are low, though Alaskans will have the best shot at seeing the lights. The upper edges of Montana, North Dakota and Minnesota also have a slightly better chance of a sighting.
