G1-level geomagnetic storm<\/a> could affect Earth\u2019s magnetic field, forecasters said, due to the impacts of coronal hole high speed streams\u2014solar winds that escape from \u201dcooler, less dense\u201d regions of the sun.<\/p>\nWhich States Could See The Aurora?<\/p>\n
The aurora could be viewable in states along the U.S.-Canadian border, according to NOAA. These include all of North Dakota and Minnesota, along with nearly all of Wisconsin, most of Michigan, South Dakota, Montana and Washington. The Northern Idaho panhandle could also see auroral activity, as well as northeastern Wyoming and northern Iowa. On the East Coast, the northern lights could be visible in northern Upstate New York, northern Vermont, northern New Hampshire and northern Maine. Additionally, the aurora could appear over Alaska, with a large portion of the state within the \u201chigh likelihood\u201d range to see the lights Sunday, according to NOAA.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s The Best Way To View The Northern Lights?<\/p>\n
Prospective northern lights viewers should move away from bright city lights and toward the Earth\u2019s magnetic north pole. Viewers should also seek a vantage point with an \u201cunobstructed view toward the north,\u201d NOAA forecasters say. The northern lights are most active within two hours before and after midnight, according to NOAA. Lights could still be present before and after this time period, though they may be less appealing.<\/p>\n
