"Upcoming Solar Activity May Illuminate Northern Lights Across the US"
TL;DR
The northern lights, caused by solar flares and geomagnetic activity, may be visible in the U.S. again soon, but Binghamton is unlikely to see them this week. Meteorologist Michael Kistner notes a 25% chance of a solar flare in the next 48 hours, but it would need to produce a coronal mass ejection to create an aurora. Future opportunities to see the northern lights in New York may arise as the solar cycle continues.
