Despite very north Bz of ~+ 60 nT, there is still nice aurora at Isle Royale National Park in Michigan behind clouds. This is looking southwest. Red aurora is high in the sky and could be photographed from many places in the northern U.S. currently.https://t.co/klLuJEIKjO pic.twitter.com/z8oWIQN0Sv

Wintry precipitation hazards too close for comfort this weekend… These are the current projections but these WILL certainly change somewhat in the days ahead. https://t.co/FAx7OXMmgJ

Low-latitudes in Europe are reporting aurora! Breathtaking seeing the Alps GLOWING red during this intense solar storm. Check out this current view from St. Anton, Austria.

Be looking to the north after sunset. The conditions for aurora to actually happen look quite promising! Doesn't mean a guarantee but these are about as ripe of conditions as you'll ever see ahead of a potential event. https://t.co/jXymG17Wt7
