The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said a strong geomagnetic storm may cause an unusually bright northern lights display Monday night.

NOAA's forecast issued Monday predicted the aurora could be visible as low as New York, including most of New Hampshire. Tomorrow, on New Year's Eve, the forecast shows the aurora viewline reaching as low as the northern tip of New Hampshire.

NASA reports that thanks to Earth’s magnetic field and atmosphere, residents are not directly harmed by any of these storms. Instead, they can witness solar flares and northern lights, as is expected in this case. According to the NOAA, solar storms of this scale are predicted to bring an aurora that "will become quite bright and active."

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the United States has predicted the northern lights will be visible in the US.

“The aurora may become visible over many of the northern states and some of the lower Midwest to Oregon,” the SWPC said. The northern lights may be visible in Wisconsin Monday and Tuesday night, according to the SWPC's forecast. Monday's forecast has a Kp index of six, meaning the lights could be “ quite bright and active ,” per the NOAA.

NOAA issued a rare severe geomagnetic storm warning — it was the strongest storm in more than two decades, producing light displays across the Northern Hemisphere. And i

A massive geomagnetic storm could make the Northern Lights visible across wide swaths of the northern United States, but there’s a big catch in the Chicago area.
