UNION, Ky. — Do you see the northern lights outside your home? There's a chance you might!

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Space Weather Prediction Center said a "severe" geomagnetic storm could make the aurora borealis visible for the northern half of the country Thursday night.

While the prediction center's forecast shows the Tri-State is barely in the range of visibility, many across the area have spotted the northern lights.

Nicholas Jones and Mason Steidle in Union shared their photos of the sky at around 9 p.m. Thursday.
