Rhino16 Posted May 11, 2024 Share Posted May 11, 2024 SWPC has G3 now as the latest obs. Do we need it to be higher to see stuff or is there some sort of lag? Should I be expecting a fade in and out situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amorphous Iodine Posted May 11, 2024 Share Posted May 11, 2024 The geomagnetic storm is now a G5. There were 7 or so earth-directed CMEs over the last 72 hours or so. Their plasma will be hitting us all weekend long: The plasma of each ejection can be expected to have differing velocities. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was visibly red earlier, now calmed down a bit. I've never seen a storm like this, only a small show up in Iceland on a relatively quiet night, so not sure. But it can definitely be variable. Depends a lot on the CME(s) that hit us, and we can only model those with so much precision... could be more in the tank given this is a "cannibal CME" that was 3 individual CMEs getting rolled up by the fastest of the bunch into a bigger one, with even more individual ones behind it. But timing is imprecise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxWatcher007 Posted May 11, 2024 Share Posted May 11, 2024 I think it ebbs and flows? I’m actually in northern MD tonight. Clear skies back home lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
