The colorful auroras may be visible from multiple states.
NEW YORK (AP) — There’s a chance solar storms may bring northern lights to several northern U.S states just in time for the new year.
The sun expelled two bursts of plasma that are hurtling toward Earth and are expected to arrive early this week, according to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Once they arrive, they may spark colorful auroras Monday and Tuesday nights in Alaska, Washington, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine.
Parts of Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Iowa and New York may also get a piece of the view.
The early morning hours on Tuesday while it’s still dark should have the best chance of producing a light show, NOAA space weather forecaster Shawn Dahl said.
