Geomagnetic Storms Today

A strong Geomagnetic storm to hit the Earth today as a result of a Plasma Cloud or Coronal Mass Ejection from the Sun.  As of this morning it is at G1 level, but NOAA is stating that levels may reach G3 strength. You can see status changes here: http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/

Another issue is that there is a slight chance that an Aurora can be seen as far south as Pennsylvania tonight (3/12).

Here is a Map of where the Aurora is most likely visible tonight.
