Skywatchers are anticipating a possible aurora borealis for parts of the US on Dec. 25 following a solar flare that spewed a coronal mass ejection (CME) toward Earth. The CME prompted a geomagnetic storm warning from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Space Weather Prediction Center on Monday.

A favorable aurora borealis forecast from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts some of the northern-most U.S. states will have a shot at seeing the northern lights this Christmas Eve and Christmas day.

It's possible more New England states will get a view of the Northern Lights, also known as aurora borealis, tomorrow night when the view line dips down into Vermont and New Hampshire. Northern Lights may be visible in Maine and some northern Midwest states on Christmas Day, according to the NOAA forecast.
