Another display of the northern lights could be visible this weekend in several U.S. states following a severe solar storm. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Space Weather Prediction Center forecast a planetary K-index -- which characterizes the magnitude of geomagnetic storms - of five out of a scale of nine for Friday and Saturday,

Sky gazers in several U.S. states could get a colorful glimpse of the northern lights as we enter the weekend, thanks to a recent geomagnetic storm.

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

In a recent development it has been known that nearly millions and a lot of Americans will be able to eventually witness the stunning solar light show in different states throughout the weekend and it will be a great view.

The states that will likely see the natural light phenomenon, known as the Aurora Borealis, are Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Michigan, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.

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. states, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

The aurora borealis is back and is expected to be visible in more than 10 states. See which states will have the best views.

Montana’s winter snowpack is growing after a lackluster start to the season, but remains below normal across most of Montana.

Montana's skies offer prime opportunities to witness celestial events like the Northern Lights and planetary alignments. Keep an eye out for potential Northern Lights displays in Northeast Montana, as per NOAA.

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.

Several U.S. states may witness northern lights this weekend due to geomagnetic storms. Optimal viewing is 10 p.m.–2 a.m., away from light pollution. Auroras result from solar activity energizing atmospheric particles.

Millions of Americans could witness the stunning solar light show in different states over the weekend as a higher-strength geomagnetic storm passes overhead.
