July 22, 2025, a rare solar event will provide sky-watchers across the United States an opportunity to witness one of nature’s most mesmerizing phenomena—the Northern Lights. This stunning aurora display will be visible in as many as 14 U.

Because of these conditions, 14 states have a chance of spotting the aurora borealis tonight, including, Washington, northern Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.

The best viewing chances in Eastern Canada appear to be in northeastern Ontario, much of eastern Quebec and Labrador, where a mostly cloud-free night is forecast. Some locales in southern Ontario, well away from city light pollution, may be able to spot them ,too. T

Auroras may be visible from Alaska to New York as an incoming solar storm could spark geomagnetic storm conditions overnight.

Northern lights could be visible in Alaska and Canada on July 23. Northern parts of the contiguous U.S. have a lower shot at seeing aurora borealis.
