Breaking: a *severe* geomagnetic storm is ongoing right now.

IF it persists into tonight, cities like Boston, Chicago, Minneapolis and Portland — perhaps farther south — could see the northern lights (assuming folks escape the city).

This is a level 8 out of 9 episode.

(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.

Yes! Here's a table outlining the potential impacts for larger geomagnetic storms.

not sure what the aurora handles- do know locally (NWMO) we keep losing our PD file retrieval abilities- not necessarily related to this, but a byte in the crime fighting butt just the same.

Aurora is reported down to ~48°N over Europe.
A "severe" G4 geomagnetic storm is in progress!

NEW: Here are my thoughts on the *ongoing* G4 geomagnetic storm.

NOAA just issued warning for Kp index of 8 to low-end 9, which corresponds to "severe" geomagnetic storm.

Satellites may experience increased drag, radio signals may have issues, and the aurora may shine. @FOX5DC

So far we’ve had a 7.3 quake in New Zealand since this hit.

 

[Nowski]

It is possible, that 6 meters may open up, maybe even some DX.

Most 6 meters that I have worked, was during similar solar activity.

CQDX. You never know with 6 meters. I will be monitoring for sure.

Please be safe everyone.

Regards to all.

Apparently, they made it down to Oklahoma.

Apparently, they made it down to Oklahoma.

I looked a couple times last night (east of Springfield, MO) but didn't see anything. Plenty of light shows further north, apparently.
