The effects of a coronal mass ejection—a bubble of plasma that bursts from the sun’s surface—will likely impact Earth’s magnetic field on Saturday, bringing the northern lights to several northern U.S.

The colorful northern lights may reveal themselves to a wide swath of Americans Friday night due to an impending solar storm forecast to reach Earth.

The agency expects a minor or greater geomagnetic storm—a disturbance of Earth’s magnetic field—on Saturday, which increases the likelihood of northern lights displays being visible to more people, as the effects of a recent coronal mass ejection reach Earth, according to NOAA’s three-day forecast.

A mid-level flare that erupted from the sun on January 22 could bring the northern lights to several US states over the weekend. NASA’s three-day forecast is predicting geomagnetic activity as high as KP 5.33 January 24 and 25, which could mean several US states as well as Canada could be in for a show tonight.

The colorful northern lights may reveal themselves to South Dakotans Friday night due to an impending solar storm forecast to reach Earth.

The sun is currently at solar maximum, according to NASA, the peak of activity in its natural cycle, which is creating more opportunities to see the northern lights.

Another display of the northern lights could be visible this weekend in several U.S. states following a severe solar storm.

The northern lights display should continue well into the weekend, possibly reaching down into the middle parts of the country.
