There's a strong geomagnetic storm predicted for Tuesday night, which typically means a good chance of seeing the northern lights - as long as clouds aren't in the sky.

Solar storms may bring northern lights to several states in the northern U.S. just in time for New Year's Eve, but cloud cover may put a damper on festivities.
