People in at least 30 states including Illinois Sunday night may have been able to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights<\/a>, and Monday brings yet another chance to see them. <\/p>\n

According to NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center, a “full-halo” CME — a large expulsion of plasma and magnetic field from the Sun\u2019s corona — occurred Friday, making it likely to cause “minor” to “moderate” geomagnetic storming on Sunday and Monday. <\/p>\n

As a result, dancing waves of light, also called aurora borealis, appeared across the United States Sunday night. And according to NOAA officials, those chances could extend into Monday night as well. <\/p>\n

According to a tweet from NOAA, “geomagnetic storm conditions at Strong (G3) or greater levels are expected to continue until April 24 at 0600 UTC.<\/p>\n

However, conditions and cloud cover Monday may not prove as favorable as they did Sunday<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Although Monday is expected to be partly sunny, increasing clouds are expected to move in late Monday and into overnight. That means, NBC 5 Meteorologist Alicia Roman says, clouds may obstruct your view. <\/p>\n

And a tweet from the National Weather Service<\/a> agrees. <\/p>\n

“Unfortunately, we are expected cloud cover to increase this evening as showers begin to lift into the area so viewing is not looking to be the best from a weather perspective.”<\/p>\n

If the clouds do clear up however, the best viewing will between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m., away from dark areas and city lights, according to NOAA.<\/p>\n

Forecasters say that solar weather is notoriously tricky to predict, and that forecasts could change quickly, so be sure to keep an eye on the NBC 5 app for all the latest updates from NASA and the National Weather Service.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
