Happy Friday (and National Washington Day)! Another warm and clear day on tap with highs in the 70's and 80's. Skies remain mostly clear tonight for the impeding G4 geomagnetic storm, which should provide a good aurora borealis show (if you're away from the city lights). #wawx pic.twitter.com/od62QNmlmP

Exciting G4 geomagnetic storm watch released by @NWSSPC due to the 5 (6?) CMEs currently en-route to Earth. Impact according to the latest models is late on Friday afternoon for N. American residents (5-10 20:00 UTC), but conditions could ramp up as more CMEs arrive. pic.twitter.com/wNcrcXw6xh

Definitely worth tuning into this @NWSSPC media advisory re: the incoming solar storm smoothie with G4 geomagnetic storm potential.
