Northern Lights might be visible from down here.

WASHINGTON—The sun may be about to put on a colourful light show.

That is because of two minor solar storms that flared on Sunday and are shooting tons of plasma directly at Earth.

Scientists said residents of northern regions, from Maine to Michigan and anywhere farther north around the globe — including Toronto — may see unusual northern lights.

Usually only regions closer to the Arctic can see the aurora of rippling reds and greens, but solar storms pull them south.

The U.S. Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder, Colorado, said the plasma probably will arrive late Tuesday night or early Wednesday. The storms are not much of a threat to satellites or power grids.

Until recently, the sun was in a phase with few storms.
