More geomagnetic storm conditions are forecast for later in the week, pulling the aurora borealis farther south, though some states will likely have an earlier chance to see the phenomenon Thursday, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

The northern lights — also called aurora borealis — could be visible in Alaska, Washington, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan, Maine, northern parts of Idaho, Wyoming, Iowa, New York, Vermont and New Hampshire.

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) aurora forecast, the northern lights may be viewable in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, and even parts of Connecticut and Rhode Island. The northern lights are typically most visible between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. according to NOAA.
