Journal Ynefel's Journal: Aurora Now Visible from Northern US & Canada

http://www.gedds.alaska.edu/AuroraForecast/

Forecast:Auroral activity will be high(+). Weather permitting, highly active auroral displays will be visible overhead from Barrow to as far south as Kodiak and Minneapolis, and visible low on the horizon from Salem, Oregon and Chicago.
Additional Forecaster comments: The solar active region that came around the limb last week is now facing Earth. There was a large solar flare with attendant coronal mass ejection from this region at 0224 GMT on the 13th. This interplanetary disturbance should reach the Earth on the morning of the 14th GMT. It could take up to 12 hours to transfer its power to the geomagnetic field. The conclusion is watch the sky tonight and tomorrow night in North America perhaps as far south as the middle US and tomorrow night in Europe as far south as northern Europe. The aurora should be visible also from Tasmania and South New Zealand.
