Look up, Toronto — shining colours could sweep across the night sky on Wednesday and into Thursday.

The aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights , are expected to glow over North America overnight, with most of Western Canada and parts of the Northern U.S. getting the best views.

The light show could appear over Toronto on Wednesday night, as the city is just on the edge of the area forecasted to potentially see the northern lights, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) space weather prediction centre .

The centre is forecasting strong and “severe” geomagnetic storms for Wednesday and Thursday nights, which the centre said result in some of the brightest aurora.

Minor geomagnetic storms are also likely on Friday, the centre said.
