This is the page I used to decide to head north last night: http://www.cmc.ec.gc.ca/cmc/htmls/clds_vis_e.html If I'm reading it right it doesn't look good for cloud cover tonight. Bill B. On Nov 8, 2004, at 3:54 PM, Josephine Grahn wrote:
Just got this from the Aurora newsgroup:
<<<Our next impact prediction assessment is available at: www.spacew.com/cme
It is based on the latest available SOHO LASCO data, which suggests that the velocity of the disturbance was higher than was initially thought. As a result, it is probable that this disturbance will arrive much sooner than originally predicted. Probably tonight sometime for North American observers. Also, it is worth noting that it has the potential to produce some disturbed levels of auroral activity. The mid-latitude auroral activity warning remains in effect for tonight.>>>
And from the referenced web site:
<<<Updated: 22:05 UTC 08 Nov (5:05 pm EST, 08 Nov)
Geomagnetic and auroral storming is expected to resume following the arrival of the next solar coronal mass ejection disturbance. It is expected to arrive within the next 6 to 12 hours.
Solar Activity Update
Additional major solar flares are possible from Region 10696 over the next 24 to 72 hours. >>>
