The colorful northern lights may reveal themselves to South Dakotans Friday night due to an impending solar storm forecast to reach Earth.

It's been a relatively quiet and lackluster winter so far in the 'Land of Ten Thousand Lakes' but a fast-moving winter storm could drastically change the Minnesota landscape as early as Tuesday.

Sky gazers in several U.S. states could get a colorful glimpse of the northern lights as we enter the weekend, thanks to a recent geomagnetic storm.

The states that will likely see the natural light phenomenon, known as the Aurora Borealis, are Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Michigan, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.

Millions of Americans could witness the stunning solar light show in different states over the weekend as a higher-strength geomagnetic storm passes overhead.

The agency expects a minor or greater geomagnetic storm—a disturbance of Earth’s magnetic field—on Saturday, which increases the likelihood of northern lights displays being visible to more people, as the effects of a recent coronal mass ejection reach Earth, according to NOAA’s three-day forecast.

The effects of a coronal mass ejection—a bubble of plasma that bursts from the sun’s surface—will likely impact Earth’s magnetic field on Saturday, bringing the northern lights to several northern U.S. states, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Another display of the northern lights could be visible this weekend in several U.S. states following a severe solar storm.

Washington, Oregon, Idaho, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming and Nebraska are all leaning toward a chillier start to spring. When it comes to spring showers, the country once again looks divided into two. The Pacific Northwest, Great Lakes region ...

Nearly three-fourths of the region is experiencing abnormally dry conditions, while a third of the region is experiencing severe drought.

The Old Farmer's Almanac, which has been in business since 1792, recently released its spring weather forecast. The outlook? "Warmer-than-normal temperatures for most of the country, with a few exceptions: southern and central California, Desert Southwest, southern Florida, and western Ohio Valley, where it will be near to below normal."

If passed, the bill would require the U.S. Congress to formally declare war to deploy South Dakota National Guard members.
