The northern lights are set to make a dazzling appearance in the US night sky tonight, November 12. A geomagnetic storm watch has been issued by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), with strong and severe storm categories predicted. The best viewing locations will be in northern states, but some areas further south may also catch a glimpse of the celestial display. According to NOAA, the top states for northern lights sightings will be Alaska, Washington, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Maine. Other regions with a chance of viewing the spectacle include northern Pennsylvania, upstate New York, northern Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont, as well as parts of the Midwest and the Southwest. The optimal time for viewing the northern lights is from 6 pm to 6 am CT, or 7 pm to 7 am ET and 5 pm to 5 am PT. To maximize your viewing experience, find a spot with minimal light pollution and an unobstructed view of the northern horizon. Consider visiting areas with low cloud cover and taking photos, as they may capture details not visible to the naked eye. Photos of the northern lights from previous nights in November 2025 have been shared by viewers. Some of these images showcase the breathtaking beauty of the phenomenon, with sightings reported in New Hampshire, Ohio, and Georgia. While the authenticity of these images cannot be independently verified, they offer a glimpse into the awe-inspiring spectacle that awaits viewers tonight.
