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.

Major U.S. metropolitan areas including those of Milwaukee, Minneapolis and Seattle are north of the projected viewline, while other cities including Buffalo and Detroit are just south of the predicted cutoff for seeing the lights. The northern lights may be visible in almost all of Canada, including Calgary, Montreal and Toronto.

A Minor geomagnetic storm is predicted on Christmas night due to a recent coronal mass ejection (CME). This event may make the aurora borealis visible across several northern states in the US, Canada,

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

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.

Parts of the United States could be in for a magical Christmas sight: The Northern Lights. Alaska and the northern Midwest states have the best chance of getting a glimpse of the dazzling sights, but the northern most reaches of New England may see it too,

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