(NEXSTAR) — Some may have the chance to see the northern lights on Sunday thanks to an eruption of solar material colliding with Earth's atmosphere.

A coronal hole high speed stream, or CH HSS, was spotted on the sun on Friday, NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center reported. A CH HSS can cause geomagnetic storms on Earth to reach G1 or G2 levels — which could, in turn, spark more northern lights.

While the SWPC warned that lower-level geomagnetic storm conditions could appear on Earth Tuesday or Wednesday, parts of the U.S. could see the northern lights Sunday night — if conditions are right.

This activity is connected to a fast-moving coronal mass ejection, or CME, that left the Sun on........
