A major geomagnetic storm is impacting Earth, the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) said Sunday afternoon. The U.S., however, may not see the aurora commonly associated with such celestial events.
Saturday, the SWPC issued geomagnetic storm watches through Monday as a coronal mass ejection was on track to impact Earth. At the time, the agency said the geomagnetic storms could reach G2 “moderate” and G3 “strong” strength.
However, on Sunday, the SWPC warned that the storm had reached “severe” G4 conditions. Those conditions could change into Monday, the agency said in a Sunday evening update.

The SWPC noted Sunday afternoon that geomagnetic storming reaching G4 conditions had been reported. In a newer update, the agency said levels “to at least G3” are expected through Sunday evening.
The G4 storming observed Sunday is considered “severe,” the SWPC notes, saying a storm of this caliber is “a major disturbance in Earth’s magnetic field; often varying intensity between lower levels and severe storm conditions over the course of the event.” As alarming as it may sound, the agency is advising otherwise.
“The public should not anticipate adverse impacts and no action is necessary, ... “infrastructure operators have been notified to take action to mitigate any possible impacts.”

No wonder my cat bit me and my watch is running clockwise. I thought it was the effing climate change. Now the damn cat is singing opera. This hasn’t happened since I quit smoking dope soaked in tide detergent. /s
I think I guy named William Shakespeare already wrote this... It’s called ‘much ado about nothing’.
Fake news.
There was a lot of noise on the VHF (2m) radio band tonite.
The UHF (70cm) band was clear, tho.
Most of the HF bands are closed.
The fish in Florida are swimming in circles.
Blame that geomagnetic storm on globull warming.

When the ground thaws and I'm recovered from upcoming surgeries, I have a Zero5 27' vertical to install. I didn't build out the DX Commander this Winter as I had 2 feet of snow most of the Winter. The offset dipole with a 4:1 balun and a 55/11 split of dipole leads has functioned smoothly from 40m to 10m for the last few months. A Bonnie Crystal ALE broadband terminated dipole will go up in mid-Summer. That one awaits the roof replacement after the Spring rain stops.
Don’t joke. The climate conjurors will find a way to do it.
"However, the radar is also picking up a bunch of inbound Russian ICBMs, so I wouldn't sweat the coronal mass ejection..."
