Can you see the northern lights tonight from Pennsylvania for Labor Day?

(NEXSTAR) – There’s a good chance many states in the northern part of the U.S. will catch a glimpse of the northern lights to round out the holiday weekend.

According to the National Weather Service, a coronal mass ejection (CME) erupted from the sun over the weekend and will give roughly 18 states a chance at catching one of the best displays of the aurora borealis since the spring.

The CME is expected to impact Earth between Monday night and Tuesday morning, with models suggesting geomagnetic storms to range between G2 and G3 storms, according to the NOAA. They are also forecasting a 6 on the KP Index (a measure of geomagnetic activity that ranges from 0 to 9) for Monday night.

The following states will have the best shot, pending local weather, at catching a glimpse of the northern lights tonight: Alaska, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Maine, South Dakota, Vermont, New Hampshire, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, New York, Wyoming, Iowa, Nebraska, and Illinois.

To learn more about the northern lights and if your area will be able to see them tonight, check out the NOAA’s website.
