High-speed winds from a spot on the sun’s surface may disrupt Earth’s magnetic field on Tuesday, likely creating geomagnetic storm conditions that could make the northern lights appear in some northern U.

The northern lights may be visible from parts of the U.S. on Tuesday. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the arrival of a so-called "corotating interaction region" could trigger "G2"-class geomagnetic storms.

This solar wind could spark northern lights tonight. There are two good things in the possible northern lights viewing tonight. The first great feature of tonight’s sky is the clear sky, which is such a rarity in Michigan.
