With compounding coronal mass ejections making their way towards Earth, it is very possible for people living in the northern part of the United States to see some stellar auroras Nov. 12 and Nov. 13, according to the\u00a0NOAA\u2019s Space Weather Prediction Center.<\/a><\/p>\n Twenty-one states have the potential to see northern lights in the coming days, including:\u00a0<\/p>\n Northern lights could also be seen as far south as Alabama and northern California on Nov. 12, according to the NOAA, but this is dependent upon the orientation of Earth\u2019s magnetic field.\u00a0<\/p>\n The best times to see northern lights in the US <\/p>\n Dig deeper:<\/p>\n The NOAA said<\/a> the best times to potentially see northern lights from the U.S. are:<\/p>\n 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET10 p.m. – 1 a.m. ET <\/p>\n A geomagnetic storm watch was issued by the NOAA on Tuesday, with predicted storm categories reaching strong and severe.\u00a0<\/p>\n Nov 12: G4 (severe) category stormNov. 13: G3 (strong) category stormNov. 14: G1 (minor)\u00a0category storm FILE – Northern lights (Aurora Borealis) illuminate the sky over Beach Lake in Alaska’s Chugiak region, United States on the night of Sept.28th to 29th, 2025.
