Will the powerful geomagnetic storms of 2024 be repeated in 2025? Here's what the experts think about the prospects for the Northern Lights in the next year.

Christmas won't be the only shot at seeing the Northern Lights from this storm. NOAA is predicting a broader swath will be able to see the Northern Lights tomorrow night, including parts of New Hampshire and Vermont. NOAA says a swath of the country has a chance of seeing the Northern Lights on Dec. 26.

Residents in a few of the U.S.’ northernmost states will have a chance to spot the northern lights Thursday night, according to a forecast from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. NOAA forecasts a Kp index of three for Thursday night,

Keep looking up! As you wind down your Christmas day, make sure to carve out some time in the evening to head outside after dark and look up. A 1-2 punch of sky potential could delight the region (if we can actually clear that sky out in time).

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 display of auroras is expected to light up the skies on Christmas Day, thanks to a powerful M8.9 solar flare enroute to Earth.

The sun sends us gifts of a dazzling show of light come Christmas night. 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.

A favorable aurora borealis forecast from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts some of the northern-most U.S. states will have a shot at seeing the northern lights this Christmas Eve and Christmas day.
