Christmas won't be the only holiday with colorful lights this year!
According to the space weather forecast from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, there are several parts of the U.S. that could see the northern lights on Thanksgiving and Black Friday.
NOAA issued a geomagnetic storm watch for Thursday and Friday.
States from Idaho to New York may get a glimpse of the display of greenish and reddish hues, known as the aurora borealis, on those days.
NOAA said it's because of a coronal mass ejection hurtling toward Earth.
The agency will post updates on when and where to see the northern lights on its website.
A G1 (Minor) watch has been issued for 28 Nov and a G2 (Moderate) watch was issued for 29 Nov due to the arrival of a CME associated with a filament eruption that took off the Sun late on 25 Nov. pic.twitter.com/pg1yihQdQy
