The sun has released a burst of strong activity, including an X1.1 solar flare and multiple M-class flares, some of which sent coronal mass ejections toward Earth.
Space weather forecasters say several of these solar storms could arrive over the next few days, potentially triggering geomagnetic activity strong enough to produce northern lights.
Experts describe the sun as highly active, with overlapping eruptions making predictions more difficult but increasing the chance of auroras.
NOAA is forecasting moderate geomagnetic storm conditions, which could push aurora visibility farther south into parts of the northern United States, Space.com has reported.
The strength and visibility of the display will depend on how the solar storms interact with Earth’s magnetic field and whether skies are dark and clear.
