The aurora borealis will be more visible than usual Sunday night, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration projects, potentially giving Americans in 10 states a view of the northern lights.

A strong geomagnetic storm will produce northern lights in nearly two dozen US states on Saturday night, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) prediction states. The forecast map and typical aurora visibility patterns during a G3 storm show that states from the Pacific Northwest to the Northeast will see the aurora borealis under favorable weather conditions.

A period of peak magnetic storms on the sun could lead to another show of northern lights on Earth on Saturday and Sunday, forecasters say.
