Once they arrive, they may spark colorful auroras Monday and Tuesday nights in Alaska, Washington, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine. Parts of Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Iowa and New York may also get a piece of the view.

There could be a chance to see the northern lights in New Hampshire and Maine both tonight and tomorrow as the New Year rings in, according to forecasters. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Space Weather Prediction Center issued an alert Sunday night that the aurora borealis may be visible at high latitudes on Dec.

The solar system is putting on its own New Year’s Eve show, with the northern lights potentially visible as far south as Oregon and Illinois on Dec. 31. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Space Weather Prediction Center issued a geomagnetic storm warning for New Year’s Eve that could bring the aurora borealis much farther south than usual.
