#aurora

So beautiful! Cannot wait for the sun to go down here in Washington!

Aurora seen all the way down to the Gulf Coast. My mom took this photo outside in Pensacola!!!!

We are starting to see visible pillars south west of Mobile! Absolutely incredible for down here. Pillars are almost overhead! #aurora

Holy crap….MOBILE! Can actually see them with the naked eye! #aurora

WOAH!

EXTREME G5 CONDITIONS OBSERVED

The last time this happened was in 2003! The geomagnetic storming will likely continue, which means there could be major communication issues over the weekend.

WOAH 🫨

G4 conditions have been observed...

Sunny and warm today and Saturday. Chance of seeing the Northern lights tonight and Saturday night. Sunny and a little cooler for Mother's Day. Chance of a few showers Monday and cooler. Partly sunny midweek. Maybe light rain later in the week. #k5weather

Still have your solar viewing glasses from last month’s eclipse?

If so, break ‘em out!

If you have sunny skies, you can currently see a huge sunspot group on the Sun with nothing more than your solar viewing glasses. ☀️

A Severe (G4) Geomagnetic Storm remains LIKELY...

A SOLAR TSUNAMI: We are expecting wave after wave of coronal mass ejections to striking the Earth on 11th and 12th May. Solar wind speeds of about 800 km/s are possible. Strong and extended geomagnetic storms likely with aurora visible at lower-than-normal latitudes. Stay tuned.

Holy moly. This is quite an aurora forecast.

ICYMI, NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center has issued the first G4 (Severe) geomagnetic watch since 2005. The aurora tomorrow may become visible over much of the northern half of the country, and maybe as far south as Alabama to northern California.

The NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center issued a rare severe Geomagnetic Storm Watch Friday/Saturday! The impact of this storm is likely to produce auroras that may extend southward to Washington state Friday night. We are expecting mainly clear skies + we just had a new moon = 👍🏽👍🏽
