The latest Northern Lights forecast means that aurora may be seen in the continental U.S. over Christmas after experts in space weather predicted a geomagnetic storm.

Skywatchers are anticipating a possible aurora borealis for parts of the US on Dec. 25 following a solar flare that spewed a coronal mass ejection (CME) toward Earth. The CME prompted a geomagnetic storm warning from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Space Weather Prediction Center on Monday.

Where Will The Northern Lights Be Visible On Christmas? Major U.S. metropolitan areas including those of Milwaukee, Minneapolis and Seattle are north of the projected viewline, wh

Stores in the Aurora area were buzzing Monday as shoppers looked to grab a few more things with Christmas Day looming on Wednesday.

Auroral activity is forecast to increase on Christmas Day, with NOAA forecasting a Kp index of five and a viewing line encompassing a few more regions than Christmas Eve’s forecast, including northern New England, northern New York and northern Iowa.

Get ready for a possible Christmas Day surprise. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a G1-minor geomagnetic storm watch for December 25. This means there's a chance of seeing the Northern Lights across parts of Canada on Christmas Day.

A display of auroras is expected to light up the skies on Christmas Day, thanks to a powerful M8.9 solar flare enroute to Earth.

Keep looking up! As you wind down your Christmas day, make sure to carve out some time in the evening to head outside after dark and look up. A 1-2 punch of sky potential could delight the region (if we can actually clear that sky out in time).

On Christmas Day, a geomagnetic storm will enhance the chances of witnessing the Northern Lights across 10 U.S. states.
