GEOMAGNETIC STORM WATCH (G3-CLASS): Strong G3-class geomagnetic storms are possible during the early UT hours of March 31st when a Cannibal CME is expected to hit Earth's magnetic field. During such storms, naked-eye auroras can descend into the USA as far south as, e.g., Illinois and Oregon (geomagnetic latitude 50o). North Americans should be alert for auroras after local nightfall on March 30th. The hours before dawn on March 31st are probably best for Europeans. Aurora alerts: SMS Text.

X-CLASS SOLAR FLARE: Earth-orbiting satellites have just detected an X1.3-class solar flare (March 30 @ 1737 UT). The source is active sunspot AR2975--the same sunspot that has already hurled at least two CMEs toward Earth this week. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the flare's extreme ultraviolet flash:

Normally I would blame Trump, but this was obviously Putin trying to blind us without being blamed.

we need far more defense spending so we can make our own CME Ejection weapons.

If I can. Blizzard last nite. Snow and cloudy earlier today. Sunny at the moment. We’ll see.

We’ve had a few this week, including one of this level.

Doesn't look like much of the USA will see anything based on the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center. But this prediction lead time is only 63 minutes.

We just had two very clear days here in North Idaho, but the high clouds moved back in this morning.

Cloudy with storms approaching in Pensacola, so even if the Aurora got down this far, I’m blind as a bat to it.

Me too, 60 years old and never seen one. Here in Eastern WA partly cloudy crossing fingers.

I saw them 3 or 4 times in Northern Michigan when I was much younger.
