A strong geomagnetic storm was observed Monday bringing the change for some parts of the US to see the Northern Lights.

Even Sunday night, the Northern Lights were seen in parts of Wisconsin and Illinois.

Monday night, parts of the US including Maine, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota and Montana could see the aurora borealis in the night sky. And places as far south as Northern Virginia, Southern Illinois, Nebraska, Wyoming and Northern Oregon could see the lights low on the horizon.

So if you're in the Western Carolinas, you'll have to hop in the car and drive at a chance to see them Monday night. the closest places would be West Virginia, Cincinnati, Ohio or far Northern Virginia.
