So... Aurora forecast: https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/3-day-forecast

Looking at the graph, it shows predicted G5 levels around 0900-1200 UTC, which would be 5:00 am EST, or 3:00 PST. Still a chance to see something tonight, but... it'll be quite early in the morning.

teeks99,

@geerlingguy it seems like that forecast was a miss. It is currently 06:15 CDT/11:15 UT and it is not looking like a G5. Maybe the earth dodged the CME? Maybe the Arch deflector got accidentally supercharged by the CME the night before?

@teeks99 yeah probably the arch!

But we'll see. Maybe forecast was just off in which direction the CME went, or it's off by a few hours and we'll see it later? Who knows!

@geerlingguy You mean EDT and PDT. If you're taking the start time of 9:00 UTC then yes, that's 5:00 EDT. But it's 2:00 PDT, not 3.
