Incoming Solar Storm POSSIBLE APRIL 15–16: New HUXt Forecast Animation Just Dropped. A CME from Sunday’s twin filament eruptions is heading for Earth. This new HUXt model forecast shows the blast moving straight through the Earth-strike zone. The animation gives a top-down view of the Sun’s north pole, showing exactly how this solar plasma is expected to hit our orbital path. Impact could begin within the next 24 to 48 hours. If this holds, we’re looking at a strong chance for auroras well outsi

A Forecast Watch for NOAA Scale G2 (moderate) Geomagnetic Storm conditions has been issued for 12 September, as the result of the CME associated with the M4 flare observed at 09/0029 UTC. The arrival of the plasma cloud at Earth’s magnetosphere is forecast for early on the 12th. G1 (minor) conditions are forecast to persist into 13 September. Displayed here is an ENLIL model depiction of the plasma cloud with a component flanking towards Earth. | NOAA NWS Space Weather Prediction Center

🚨 CME CONFIRMED. IMPACT LIKELY FRIDAY ☀️🌍 We reported on the M4.4 solar flare yesterday. Now both the HUXt model and NOAA’s ENLIL forecast confirm Earth is in line for impact. Forecast arrival is set for August 8 around 09:30 to 12:00 UTC. That’s early morning for North America. The CME is expected to deliver a glancing but fast hit, with arrival speeds estimated between 600 and 665 km/s. Both models show Earth taking the outer edge of the ejecta. This lowers the chance of a direct hit but doe
