The sun expelled two bursts of plasma traveling toward Earth, potentially sparking colorful auroras in northern U.S. states on Monday and Tuesday nights.
The best chance to see the auroras will be during the early hours of Tuesday when it's still dark, according to NOAA space weather forecaster.
Monitoring continued as this week's solar storms might cause minor disruptions to high-frequency radio communications, which are vital for airlines and amateur radio operators.
The sun is at the peak of its 11-year cycle, increasing the frequency of solar surges and the likelihood of visible northern lights.
