Saw a bit of a glow on the horizon through the camera lens earlier. That’s about it for tonight. From what I’m seeing tonight is underperforming compared to last night at lower latitudes. Plus I’m now shrouded in clouds here so no hope of seeing anything else.

Hearing on social media that tonight’s solar storm could be even more intense than last night. It looks like there will be some clouds around but nothing to significantly impede aurora viewing.

Vivid naked eye aurora visible 10 minutes ago in Allentown!

Clouds cleared a little and believe it or not there’s some naked eye aurora on the horizon! Nothing like last October (yet) but it’s out there!

Aurora visible tonight and it’s freaking cloudy. Ugh…

Looks like most models have something off the coast early next week. The GFS is the only one that gets it cold enough for accumulating snow. At the very least it’s nice to have something to track again.

Got 6” in Allentown from this storm. Power went out midday Saturday and stayed out till Tuesday evening. Even worse, schools were closed Monday so I couldn’t even go there to warm up as I was a senior in HS at the time. Loved the storm, hated the aftermath.

Sandy redux on the 12z Canadian late next week. Could be some interesting days of tracking ahead.

I was hanging out on my porch and was very surprised to see a lightning flash. Could be the last one we see all year as a fall/winter pattern looks like it will set in after this cold front passes.

Check out the end of the 0z Canadian. It has the ultra rare hurricane phasing into a cold airmass so much of the interior Northeast gets a very white, windy Halloween. Probably won’t happen but it’s fun to look at.

Trash night here too. Not going to bother putting it out…it can wait till next Sunday. I’d rather not chase my trash cans down the street.

Euro still wants to tuck it into the coast and make Monday morning very rainy and windy. Most other models give us some showers with a light breeze and that’s it.

Still a ton of disagreement on the 0z models about the timing and intensity of this storm, despite the start of it being 1-2 days away. If this was winter this place would be going insane right now.

Union won the supporters’ shield at least. I was at the game Saturday night when they clinched it and the place was electric.

There looks to be agreement among the models that 1-2” of rain will fall Saturday night into Monday, possibly more in localized areas. The details are still being ironed out as there are some differences in when the most impactful rain and wind will be. That could come anytime between Sunday afternoon and Monday afternoon.
