Though it is hard to predict exactly where the aurora will arrive, the NOAA image shows the view line tonight includes northern New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Michigan, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, and Wisconsin.

The Northern Lights may be visible in several continental U.S. states Monday night after a strong solar flare caused solar eruptions over the weekend, which are expected to cause some aurora sightings in northern and Midwestern states.

A powerful geomagnetic storm is poised to descend over Earth on Sept. 16, potentially bringing aurora borealis to regions like Pennsylvania, Iowa and Oregon, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced — but it appears that some Californians were already lucky enough to witness it just outside their doorstep last week.
