The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said a strong geomagnetic storm may cause an unusually bright northern lights display Monday night.

NOAA's forecast issued Monday predicted the aurora could be visible as low as New York, including most of New Hampshire. Tomorrow, on New Year's Eve, the forecast shows the aurora viewline reaching as low as the northern tip of New Hampshire.

The Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a strong geomagnetic storm watch, level G3 out of 5, for Dec. 31.

“The aurora may become visible over many of the northern states and some of the lower Midwest to Oregon,” the SWPC said. The northern lights may be visible in Wisconsin Monday and Tuesday night, according to the SWPC's forecast. Monday's forecast has a Kp index of six, meaning the lights could be “ quite bright and active ,” per the NOAA.

There's a strong geomagnetic storm predicted for Tuesday night, which typically means a good chance of seeing the northern lights - as long as clouds aren't in the sky.

NOAA issued a rare severe geomagnetic storm warning — it was the strongest storm in more than two decades, producing light displays across the Northern Hemisphere. And i
