The northern lights could shine across Ohio and much of the United States tonight thanks to an incoming solar storm. Here's how to see them.

Residents in states as far south as Utah, Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont may notice a celestial glow along the northern horizon.

To spot the aurora in Northeast Ohio, you will likely need to look low on the horizon using a camera with a long exposure. NOAA says the northern lights can been seen on just after sunset to just before sunrise. According to experts, the best time to catch the lights is typically between dusk and midnight.
