Minor geomagnetic storms could cause a brighter-than-usual northern lights display across the northern United States on Tuesday night.

A geomagnetic storm is set to bring a rare aurora borealis display to parts of the United States tonight, with skywatchers in at least 10 states potentially catching a glimpse of the northern lights.

Displays of Northern Lights are possible overnight on Tuesday, March 4, into Wednesday, March 5, in some northerly U.S. states.

Displays of Northern Lights are possible overnight on Tuesday in some US states after a geomagnetic storm was forecasted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The agency's map shows that aurora is possible in several northern areas,

Aurora borealis is one of the coolest astronomical events that we can see with the naked eye. It makes the sky glow beautiful colors, and auroras are just random enough to be exciting occurrences. But they may not be as random as we all think: Historical data suggests that aurora borealis has seasons where they are more likely to occur than other times of the year.

Aurora chasers are on high alert for possible geomagnetic storm conditions from March 4 to March 5. Northern lights possible at mid-latitudes.

It's been some time, but the northern lights could make an appearance tonight over Vermont tonight. The lights could be visible in the northern part of the state, according to the NOAA forecast. It's expected to be a minor storm.

The Northern Lights could be visible from the UK tonight as a geomagnetic storm is set to make the stunning display visible from large parts of the country

The aurora borealis could be seen as far south as New York, Wisconsin and Wyoming on Tuesday thanks to a solar storm. A coronal mass ejection that occurred on Mar. 1 is headed toward Earth, with the potential to spark a geomagnetic storm.
