During Valentine's Day weekend, there is a slight chance some parts of North America may witness the northern lights, or aurora borealis. The NOAA predicts visibility primarily in northern regions like Michigan and Maine. However, experts warn that conditions are not favorable due to a strong solar wind creating a minor geomagnetic storm and a nearly full moon, which may obscure the light show. Astronomers caution that while there's a possibility to see the auroras, they may be faint and hard to notice under these circumstances.
The aurora may become visible along the horizon of northern tier and far north upper Midwest states, but don't get your hopes up too high.
It won't drive the aurora very far southwards in the Northern Hemisphere. And because it's a more minor storm you're not expecting things to be as vivid.
