This week, parts of the US may witness the Northern Lights due to high solar activity.

This week, residents of several northern U.S. states may witness the breathtaking Northern Lights due to a series of recent solar storms.

NOAA's SWPC announced that the Sun released several coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that are heading towards Earth.

The NOAA's publication stated that solar activity was high over the weekend, resulting in solar flares and filament eruptions that were linked to coronal mass ejections (CMEs).

"As of yesterday, July 29, it was determined that some CMEs had Earth-directed components and their arrival could begin due to an event that occurred early on July 27."

Other CMEs followed, indicating an arrival on June 30 and continuing into the 31st, as it takes time for the ejections to pass beyond the Earth's magnetic field.

The NOAA reported that additional CME arrivals are still a possibility.

The Weather Prediction Center reported that the Sun continues to produce additional CMEs due to the high number of active regions and complex sunspot groups, and further CME arrivals are possible.

The Geomagnetic Storm Watch is active until Wednesday, as stated by the center.

In June, the Aurora Borealis' dancing lights were visible in the U.S., including some southern states, following the strongest geomagnetic storm in 20 years.

Aurora Borealis, or the Northern Lights, are caused by the charged particles of a CME, while strong X-class solar flares can lead to high-frequency radio blackouts, as reported by Fox Weather.

The CMEs were observed by NASA satellites as they blasted away from the Sun and headed towards the Earth's magnetic field.

The Northern Lights are expected to be visible tonight and tomorrow, and the SWPC's website provides a map of the possible sightlines and the U.S. states that may witness the phenomenon.

According to Fox Weather, there is a possibility of moderate magnetic storms occurring between 5 a.m. and 8 a.m. ET on July 30.

"Solar storms with G3 intensity will occur during daylight hours in the eastern U.S. between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. ET."

Possible sightings of the lights may increase due to other reported CME arrivals, with G3 sightings potentially allowing people in the upper U.S. states and some of the Midwest to view them.

The weather also plays a large role in the visibility of Aurora Borealis.

The majority of Canada and northern U.S. states will experience fair weather for viewing the lights.

"Across much of Canada and the northern tier of the U.S., weather conditions look promising Monday night and early Tuesday morning, with minimal cloud cover in Minneapolis, Casper, and Buffalo."

On Tuesday night, Fox 5 New York reported that due to strong geomagnetic storm conditions, the Northern Lights can be seen in Chicago, Casper, Wyoming, and Iowa. However, the cloud cover in the Upper Midwest and Northeast will make viewing conditions fair to poor.
