'NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC)- a division of the National Weather Service - is monitoring the sun following a series of solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that began on May 8,' the emergency alert read.
'Space weather forecasters have issued a Severe (G4) Geomagnetic Storm Watch for the evening of Friday.
'Additional solar eruptions could cause geomagnetic storm conditions to persist through the weekend,' it went on, before describing the abnormal activity that tipped space specialists off.
'A large sunspot cluster has produced several moderate to strong solar flares since Wednesday at 5:00 am ET,' it read.
'At least five flares were associated with CMEs that appear to be Earth-directed. SWPC forecasters will monitor NOAA and NASA's space assets for the onset of a geomagnetic storm.'

BIGGEST FLARE YET - X5.8
Folks, we’re not done yet.
Only 3 of 6 eruptions have struck, we hit level 5 solar storm conditions and we may have a 7th blast on its way.

We shouldn’t be seeing norther lights in the southern latitudes with the current solar flares. This suggests the earths magnetic field has weakened significantly I suspect.

“earths magnetic field has weakened significantly”
Maybe that’s why I am putting on weight for added ballast! LOL
