This Thanksgiving, skywatchers in the northern rim of the United States may be treated to a celestial spectacle as solar storms are predicted to produce faint auroras across several states. According to NOAA meteorologist Mike Bettwy, pale auroras may be visible in many northern states on Thursday and Friday, contingent upon the intensity of the solar storms.

Prime locations for potential aurora sightings include Washington, Montana, the Dakotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Maine. Additionally, northern parts of Idaho, Wyoming, New York, Vermont, and New Hampshire may also have the opportunity to witness these natural light displays.
