SALT LAKE CITY — The northern lights might be visible to some Utahns on Tuesday and Wednesday night.

On Tuesday, space weather forecasters issued an alert for severe solar storms that could temporarily disrupt communications in the northern parts of North America. These solar storms are also responsible for producing the northern lights, also known as the aurora borealis.

According to the Space Weather Prediction Center , Utah is not within the range for the northern lights on Tuesday. However, the University of Alaska Fairbanks predicts that from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m., most of Utah should be able to see them.
