Auroras could be seen as far south as northern Michigan.
A G1 storm from the sun is expected to cause northern lights and interact with our planet's magnetic field lines.
It will be hard for U.S. observers to see the northern lights because of the huge winter storm in the north.
Stunning northern lights from intense solar storms are what stargazers like to see.
Fortunately for those who work during the holiday season, the effect of the Aurora's effect will be minor. The "weak power grid fluctuations" and "minor impact on satellite operations" are only forecast by the federal government.
NASA and the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration keep a constant watch on the sun to inform infrastructure managers how to keep things going during busy times.
NASA and other agencies work on creating models of the sun's behavior to better understand how the 11-year cycle of sunspots works. The agency is able to further refine its models and improve forecasts thanks to spacecraft.
