The Northern lights could be visible in the skies on Saturday night, according to Accuweather.

"A solar flare that occurred around 2 a.m. Thursday morning may create a spectacular display of northern lights Saturday evening," according to a statement.

Michigan is just one state of many from New York to the west that has a chance of seeing the aurora borealis, Accuweather says.

However, viewing conditions in Michigan also are forecast as just "fair."

The light show could start at 8 p.m., or as late as 3 a.m. Sunday.

"The flare is also expected to cause vibrant northern lights from the Arctic as far south as New York, the Dakotas, Washington and Michigan, with a smaller possibility of it going into Pennsylvania and Iowa, even Kansas," the statement said.

Read more on the possible light show - and what causes it - in a story in the Christian Science Monitor.
