"In a special alert issued on Sunday, a forecast from NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center predicted a strong G3 geomagnetic storm through midday Tuesday, December 9.
While space weather is hard to predict, auroras could be visible from late Monday night into the wee hours of Tuesday morning and possibly again on Tuesday night.
According to NOAA, here’s where they may be visible: Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine."
