MANCHESTER, N.H. —

There is a possibility of seeing the northern lights over parts of New Hampshire later Monday night.

When the charged particles reach Earth later today, it will set off a colorful display known as the Aurora Borealis.

NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center has said conditions are likely to reach a level 3 out of 5 Monday night.
