High-speed winds from a spot on the sun’s surface may disrupt Earth’s magnetic field on Tuesday, likely creating geomagnetic storm conditions that could make the northern lights appear in some northern U.S. states, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

The northern lights may be visible from parts of the U.S. on Tuesday. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the arrival of a so-called "corotating interaction region" could trigger "G2"-class geomagnetic storms.
