Couple hours ago the Earth got hit from a strong corona mass ejection, and the aurora is cranking. The kp index is at 8, and may make it to 9, which is pretty rare!
of course, the NE is clouded over 🤬. Happy aurora hunting to the rest of you!

(UPDATED) TONIGHT'S AURORA FORECAST:
Based on current data, we've moved our possible Northern Lights viewing farther south. A moderate, strong, or severe geomagnetic storm is possible.
Aurora viewing is likely in the United States tonight as Earth is impacted by a strong solar storm. The most favorable cloud conditions look to be over the Midwest, Plains and parts of the Great Lakes and less favorable conditions in the Northeast and Northwest.
