G4 Solar Storm coming.

[Zorba]

We are sitting on the Green/Yellow line and it will be clear. Woot!

We got a pretty heavy cloud deck tonight .

So you're seeing it right? The forecast has improved enormously for you through 9:30 PST in Washington state if you have clear skies.

 

[skyking]

oh that has shifted significantly. Too early yet.

 

[SteveGrabowski]

You can't see anything yet? Shocked based on that forecast. That's like 90-100% for the majority of Washington. The new forecast is still very good for at least seeing it to your north with better than a coin flip of it being directly overhead at 10:24PM PST in Washington. Though not as good as the previous forecast for sure.

 

[skyking]

dude, it is just now getting dark enough. De-bunch thine pantaloons.

 

[iRONic]

Shut out two nights in a row here. Clizzowds… 😤

 

[BoomerD]

Yeah, I was just outside...no sign of the magical pretty sky colors yet.

 

[BoomerD]

 

[skyking]

For all the light pollution it is a good sky tonight. I spotted a half dozen satellite transitions.
Just not much color.

I think that's last night's map...5-11-2024, 0355 UTC was 5-10-2024 at 8:55 pm.

 

[skyking]

Apparently a nice show about 75 miles north in Skagit County.

sweet Nothing here yet.

 

[BoomerD]

tonight's map:

We're north of the red line, so the aurora MIGHT be visible towards the northern horizon.

 

[skyking]

So far it's a bust. I upped the exposure to 5 seconds, it is a clean sky.

 

[Lost_in_the_HTTP]

Nada.

Squat.

Crap, my bad everyone

Nice. That explains why pink was all I could see last night since San Antonio was so far away so all you could see was the highest aurora.

 

[MrSquished]

Hopefully it's the aliens coming to reboot the server of this simulation

Forecasting another G5 (extreme) geomagnetic storm tonight. If it’s clear where you are head out and look up.

Got nuffin.

First time I saw northern lights was camping in Conconally probably over 20 years ago. It was all green and the whole sky glowed with what looked like patterns you see if you had a little psychedelic onboard.

 

[Lost_in_the_HTTP]

Keep an eye on the 30 minute forecast site. Looks like it may be increasing again.

The first and only time I saw them was on a TDY job in Prudhoe Bay, AK.

I stood there staring my mouth agape. Co-workers of course we're all nonchalant. I kept yammering on how cool they were and after awhile I was the butt of a few jokes because of my amazement.

New storm may bring it back into view for some tonight, but probably no where near as far south.

Will try to check before I go to bed tonight. Should be clear.
