The model predictions are in and NASA's model run shows a flanking blow by late on January 2. NOAA's model is less certain, but they may rerun this as more coronagraph data comes in. Likely we could see an extension of the expected activity through January 3. A G1 level is possible so aurora views may grace mid-latitude skies!

KABOOM πŸ’£πŸ’₯ A Coronal Mass Ejection from the sun and one from within my noggin 🀯 How amazing is this high resolution capture??? #SolarStorm #AuroraBorealis
Gorgeous filament eruption from the Sun’s southwestern limb, resulting in a nice CME.

As expected, we are now in a fast solar wind stream from this highly irregularly shaped coronal hole. For the most part, we will pass through the upper equatorial portion of the fast wind pocket due to Earth being slightly above the ecliptic plane right now, but because of active Region 4292, this journey could bring highly variable wind. Expect multiple intensifications in wind speed over the next few days along with some magnetic reversals. From the PFSS overlay, you can clearly see some closed field lines in the center, which is what could bring the bumpy ride. If you are an aurora chaser you might want to watch for these bumps, especially in the magnetic field, as they could help trigger substorms over the next couple days.

ALT B.C. is an American newspaper comic strip created in 1958 by Johnny Hart. It focuses on a small band of cavemen, led by one named B.C. Others in the strip include Peter, Clumsy Carp, Curls, Thor, Wiley, Grog, the Fat Broad and the Cute Chick (named Jane and Grace, respectively, as of 2019). There is also a cast of talking animals that includes John the Tortoise, Dookie Bird, a family of ants, an anteater, dinosaurs, clams, snakes and an apteryx: a small wingless bird with hairy feathers (a.k.a. a kiwi to the rest of us). Initially, B.C. was a gag-a-day strip. After Hart became a born-again Christian in 1977, the strip gradually began adding more and more of Hart's religious and political beliefs until most strips were Christian-themed. Some newspapers refused to print certain strips that were deemed overly proselytizing. After Hart's death in 2007, it reverted to a mostly gag-a-day strip maintained by grandson Mason Mastroianni (who also took over Hart's other strip, The Wizard of Id)

Can anyone else in Vancouver see the aurora through the smoke and clouds? πŸ˜• Geomagnetic Activity level is atΒ 6.67Β Kp... STORM LEVEL 😭 #SameOldSameOld #Vancouver #BritishColumbia #AuroraBorealis
This disturbance is beginning to show some serious promise. The solar wind magnetic field is quite enhanced. Let's hope it lasts through the evening!
