Parts of the northern U.S. may be able to see the northern lights on Friday night as solar radiation will likely cause some radio blackouts again, according to a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecast.

It's good news for aurora chasers as peak auroral activity occurs a few years after solar maximum, according to Brekke. This means the best time to see the northern lights and the southern lights will be during the 2026-2027 aurora season.

Another round of northern lights is expected to be visible, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

A second round of November auroras are predicted in NOAA's latest three-day forecast, producing the chance for a colorful night sky in select parts of the U.S.
