Northern lights may be visible in these 9 US States tonight

Northern lights above Lake MacDonald in Glacier National Park Rocky Mountains, Montana. The aurora appears as curtains of purple and green light.

Unsettled geomagnetic activity could bring northern lights to parts of the U.S. tonight (June 19–20).

A coronal mass ejection (CME) released during a relatively small C5.5 solar flare on June 17 may deliver a glancing blow to Earth sometime tonight. This, combined with fast solar wind streaming from a large Earth-facing coronal hole, could fuel geomagnetic storm conditions overnight, according to NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC).
