Thanks for the forecasts John.

We are moving our living room into another room. One, it's a much warmer room, and two, there are lots of windows north facing and right off our deck where we watch the aurora from.

GLANCING BLOW: Arctic sky watchers should be alert for Northern Lights on Nov. 5th. NOAA forecasters say there is a chance that a coronal mass ejection (CME) will hit Earth's magnetic field, and the impact could spark a high-latitude geomagnetic storm. The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory recorded this movie of the CME:

The billon-ton cloud was blown into space by departing sunspot 1029 on Oct. 31st. Normally, CMEs take only two or three days to reach Earth, but during the deep solar minimum of 2008-2009, the clouds have slowed to a veritable crawl. Crossing the sun-Earth divide now requires about five days, so an Oct. 31st CME should arrive on Nov. 5th. Because the blast was not squarely Earth-directed, the sluggish CME will deliver at most a glancing blow. NOAA forecasters estimate a 5% chance of strong geomagnetic storms around Earth's poles.

AURORA WATCH: High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras tonight. A solar wind stream is buffeting Earth's magnetic field and causing geomagnetic disturbances around the poles: more.

Hey Aurora......I've been on the same site you posted those graphics from, but help me out with the date. If it's listed for Thursday, does that mean Thurs night or Wednesday night going into Thursday?
I'm a steady night shift worker, so the date is always subject to interpretation in my world
