The northern lights — also called aurora borealis — could be visible in Alaska, Washington, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan, Maine, northern parts of Idaho, Wyoming, Iowa, New York, Vermont and New Hampshire.

Space weather forecasters say northern lights may be visible in parts of the northern United States following weekend solar storms.

A recent forecast by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration shows that several northern states may see the aurora borealis. Monday's "Kp," the scale the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration uses to measure the maximum forecasted geomagnetic activity, is a seven on a scale from zero to nine.
