Topline A cluster of states in the northern U.S. might have an opportunity to view the northern lights Tuesday night, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Some solar radiation storms are expected early this week, forecasters said. Lehtikuva/AFP via Getty Images Key Facts NOAA forecast a Kp index of three on a scale of nine for Tuesday night, suggesting the northern lights could be visible just south of the Canadian border. No minor or greater geomagnetic storms or significant solar winds are expected, though the Kp index may increase to around four early Wednesday morning, meaning aurora borealis may be more visible in a few more states, according to NOAA’s three-day outlook. Calmer aurora activity comes as minor solar radiation storms are expected to persist through Thursday with some possible impacts to high-frequency radio. Where Will The Northern Lights Be Visible? The northern lights are forecast across Canada and Alaska, where the phenomenon may be visible once the sun sets in the state. Other states have a lower chance of seeing the Northern Lights, including parts of Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. (See map below.) What’s The Best Way To See The Northern Lights? Aurora borealis is best seen in the winter months as nights grow longer, though their colorful, swirling lights may still be visible throughout the year depending on solar activity. NOAA recommends traveling to a north-facing, high vantage point away from light pollution to view the lights, which the agency said are best seen between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. local time. What’s The Best Way To Photograph The Northern Lights? With a regular camera, photography experts recommend using a wide-angle lens, an aperture or F-stop of four or less and a focus set to the furthest possible setting.
