Will the powerful geomagnetic storms of 2024 be repeated in 2025? Here's what the experts think about the prospects for the Northern Lights in the next year.

Christmas won't be the only shot at seeing the Northern Lights from this storm. NOAA is predicting a broader swath will be able to see the Northern Lights tomorrow night, including parts of New Hampshire and Vermont. NOAA says a swath of the country has a chance of seeing the Northern Lights on Dec. 26.

Areas included within Thursday’s viewing line include the northern tip of Idaho, northern Montana, North Dakota, northern Michigan and northern Wisconsin. For viewers in Alaska, chances of seeing the northern lights increase from west to east.

Keep looking up! As you wind down your Christmas day, make sure to carve out some time in the evening to head outside after dark and look up. A 1-2 punch of sky potential could delight the region (if we can actually clear that sky out in time).

The sun sends us gifts of a dazzling show of light come Christmas night. 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.
