TEXAS -- NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center calls for a 75 percent chance of geomagnetic storms during the next few days, all thanks to a series of eruptions from the Sun.

On Tuesday, the agency issued a moderate geomagnetic storm watch for May 16.

The first in the series of coronal mass ejections, as they are known, will hit Earth's protective shield, the magnetosphere, on May 15, according to forecasters.

Multiple rounds of solar ejecta are expected to arrive through Friday, May 17.

The result?  Aurora borealis or northern lights are expected to shimmer bright over the arctic circle and parts of North America, including the northern tier of our United States.

In the above video, Chief Meteorologist Burton Fitzsimmons shows how one such solar blast amounted to ribbons of electric green aurora filling the skies over Michigan on Monday night.
