STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — A geomagnetic storm could make the northern lights visible across the northern United States just after darkness falls on New Year’s Eve, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). And another geomagnetic storm could make them visible once again just after sunset on New Year’s Day.

The northern lights may be visible in parts of the United States after sundown on New Year’s Eve, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Fireworks won't be the only entertainment in the sky across parts of the nation on New Year's Eve as the northern lights are predicted to make an appearance to close out the year. The NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center issued a G3 (strong) geomagnetic storm watch for Tuesday as a coronal mass ejection that left the sun on Sunday is expected to reach Earth.
