Marquette, MI – The northern lights will be visible across northern parts of the United States, including upper Michigan, northern Wisconsin, and Minnesota, on Monday and Tuesday. This natural light display is due to increased geomagnetic activity. Residents can expect to see the aurora borealis between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. Central Time.
According to NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center, the forecast indicates that the aurora will be visible under clear skies. The northern lights occur when charged solar particles interact with Earth’s atmosphere, causing a vibrant display of colors, particularly in higher latitudes.
Experts recommend finding dark areas away from city lights for the best viewing experience. Monday and Tuesday night promise high aurora activity, with ideal conditions expected in rural areas. Be sure to check the weather forecast and dress warmly if you plan to venture outside.
