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.

The colorful northern lights may reveal themselves to a wide swath of Americans Friday night due to an impending solar storm forecast to reach Earth.

The northern lights display should continue well into the weekend, possibly reaching down into the middle parts of the country.

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.
