Ten northern U.S. states may see northern lights

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) forecasts that about 10 northern U.S. states may see the northern lights Saturday night due to isolated minor geomagnetic storms. The Kp index is expected to reach 4, indicating brighter displays. Alaska has the highest chance for sightings, with Montana, North Dakota, and Minnesota also likely to see the aurora. Other states, including Washington and Michigan, may have lower visibility. The northern lights are best viewed between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. local time. NOAA advises finding dark areas away from city lights for optimal viewing conditions.
