I completely missed it! I had to be up super early

Clouds killed us tonight. Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk

G3 ongoing right now. Not sure if it will hold until dark. Also we will have clouds to deal with.

There was a surprise G3 last night. There is some possibility for action tonight in its wake. It was cloudy and rainy last night anyway. Tonight should be clear here.

Yeah a missed opportunity for sure

The lights were out last night, but this is Vermont, so you guessed it, clouds.

Oh I am pretty sure it won't be.

The 2003 aurora display over Long Island is one I will never forget (unfortunately I didn't have a camera capable of taking good photos of it at the time). It was incredible. Half the sky was visibily green and the other half visibly red and it was directly overhead. i was looking right at the Fire Island light which divided the two colors from where I was standing.

The clouds rolled in here. So if anything popped I never saw it.

I got nothing but far off thunderstorms and debris clouds. Where it was clear nothing was showing up.

Yeah I am going to have to actually go a bit south to avoid some junk.

Solar wind is 544 km/s and the Bz is -7.6

It is coming around to our neck of the woods.

Kp may reach 7 tonight! Be ready!

Kp is 6 and the IMF is south for now. Let's see if it holds until after dark!

the moon is very bright. I just went out and any pic I took looked almost day like. If it is there it will be extremely tough to see.

Well that is good then. I was out cold at 11 last night. I wasn't quite sure when the clouds had really rolled in.

I missed it! My app didn't alert me and wake me up

I did not but that could have been due to some low clouds/fog to the north.

A G3 occurred this morning and is now G2 as of this post. Unfortunately of course it is the morning and will go to waste for us aurora lovers.

Apparently the lights were out last night. There are some pics on Spaceweather from VT and Cape Cod. Unfortunately I missed it.

Between approximately 11:30pm to 12:30am and it kept going but it became almost completely overcast at that point.

EDIT: Nevermind, I am seeing it may hit tomorrow which means no dice here due to rain. I had the date off by a day in my head.

Well I wouldn't say that entirely but most likely yes. The G2 last fall gave a show here with visible rods etc. but it certainly didn't match up to earlier this week. A lot will ride on that IMF and if we get a lucky substorm as well.

Yet another Earth directed coronal mass ejection erupted from the Sun this morning. Modeling of the event predicts arrival June 27 at 1700 UT (13:00 EDT). This event is expected to be weaker than the severe geomagnetic storm from earlier in the week. SWPC forecasters are calling for Moderate (G2) geomagnetic storm conditions beginning June 27 and continuing into June 28 So models predict another daytime hit, but storming should persist into Fri night. G2 is enough to get it done here should the IMF be south.
