Solar storms may bring northern lights to several states in the northern U.S in time for the new year. Minor disruptions to radio communications are also possible.

“The aurora may become visible over many of the northern states and some of the lower Midwest to Oregon,” the SWPC said. The northern lights may be visible in Wisconsin Monday and Tuesday night, according to the SWPC's forecast. Monday's forecast has a Kp index of six, meaning the lights could be “ quite bright and active ,” per the NOAA.

The NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center says a solar storm could bring the Northern Lights to the Lower Hudson Valley on New Year's Eve. But with a high chance of rain in the evening, the possibility of seeing the phenomenon could be rare.
