Northern lights should be visible on Thanksgiving and Black Friday from New York to Idaho thanks to an incoming solar storm, according to NOAA.

An outburst of solar energy looks primed to hit Earth on Thursday, potentially bringing auroras to the northern U.S. on Thanksgiving and Black Friday.

NOAA predicts a minor to moderate geomagnetic storm Thursday night, potentially giving people across the northern U.S. the opportunity to see the northern lights on Thanksgiving.

In May, the most powerful geomagnetic storm in two decades painted the Northern Hemisphere with vibrant auroras. Just last month, another intense storm brought the unusual sight of these dancing lights to cities as far south as New Mexico,
