nrgjeff Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Updates just after 00Z with a 24 hour forecast into the time of interest. https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/communities/space-weather-enthusiasts I feel like NOAA is less hype than the .com URL. If NOAA jacks up that Aurora Forecast movie chart (lower left) it's game time. For you guys. I'm South and cloudy. Double whammy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrgjeff Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Indeed it came in under forecast. However the usual places cashed in. Lower 48 hype was always BS. Apparently Iceland gets another shot this evening. Could be too early North America. It's Never for the Lower 48. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got home and looked up and could see the green tinge right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyewall Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 According to the post they were very much naked eye visible in VT. According to spaceweather.com naked eye aurora were seen as low as 39N in CA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experience is Kp of 7 or better. Kp of 6 I get interested, but 7 is my go to number. I dues the Space Weather. com alert system and have my text alerts start at 6,,, The 2003 event was a Kp of 9... It was also exceptionally early in the evening for our area. I was following reports form overseas during the late afternoon and once it exploded across Newfoundland with the Kp getting to 9, I called friends and family and told them to get ready to go outside. You could see the glowing red light from inside your house here in western Connecticut. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
