The large Class X Solar Flare this week is expected to produce a significant CME late today or tonight.
I received an update on my iPhone a little bit ago saying the CME has reached Earth. However, spaceweather.com is saying it's not as strong as expected. Still, they are saying "high-latitude" observers "should be alert for auroras". Nearly full Moon is not helping but I'm going to look to the north every now and then to see if anything happens. patrick
