Current forecasts project the lights could be seen as far south as Alabama to northern California, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center. Chances of seeing the lights will be highest in the northern United States, Canada and northern Europe.

The Space Weather Prediction Center has issued its first "severe geomagnetic storm watch" since 2005. Auroras might be seen as far south as Alabama.

The solar storm that caused the strong display of northern lights is still active and is expected to continue at least through Sunday, and parts of the U.S. may be able to see the lights tonight “weather permitting,” according to a Saturday update from NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center.
