Northern lights were fantastic Sunday night. Can Michigan expect a second show?

Michigan skies featured the dazzling northern lights Sunday night and many in the Upper Peninsula could see them again Monday night, according to NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) forecast.

The view line on the SWPC's dashboard map shows people in up to seven states could see the northern lights, or aurora borealis, Monday night, Sept. 15. In Michigan, the shimmering lights could be visible in the night sky across the Upper Peninsula, NOAA says.

Sunday night, a strong geomagnetic storm created dazzling lights over Michigan and much of the country.

The storm is receding, making viewing less likely farther south, but the National Weather Service predicts mainly clear skies in most areas in the UP, overnight Sept. 15, allowing for ideal viewing conditions. Sky watchers ca
