I think it was October 24. That was the real show. Then there was one in May 6 months earlier.

Sounded like around 11:30 it really popped off, but I was asleep.

I missed an event on October 24?!? This whole having a kid thing and going to bed at 8p really screws this.

That was the best one imo. Although sounds like I missed the good stuff around midnight last night.

Last October was epic, no? I remember running outside because a friend of mine sent me a picture his mom took in West Hartford...I was watching a Bruins game and missed a goal. Pretty sure that was October last year.

[WhiteLawns]

Last October was definitely nuts.

Can anyone give me an idea of what the cloud cover will look like tn in NWCT?

October of 2024

Can someone remind me of the key websites to monitor and what I am looking for again?

Not as strong as yesterday…G2/G3. Clouds are a problem again too.

yeah satellite looks awful (though I guess there may be some thinning/decrease). Probably be similar to last night in the cloud category. Figures this one would be weaker. Oh well...can go to bed early

I thought this event was supposed to be stronger? Is the KFS now doing space weather? 

[ORH_wxman]

Bz is strongly north so you're not gonna see shit anyway. Get that back to -35 like last night and then we can talk. 

[dendrite]

Looks like it’s near 0 now…but yeah we’ll need to see a prolonged spike decently south. I don’t have my hopes up for tonight.

[HoarfrostHubb]

Yup... cooked...although later in the night chance it could get better.  Still, cloudy and weaker amd not aligned ideally

[LSC97wxnut]

The graphs on the Spaceweather app seems to be ramping up? 

[HoarfrostHubb]

Definitely getting better but still cloudy here.  

[LSC97wxnut]

There was a few small holes in the cloud cover here, but it seems to have stabilized at a point it couldn't break through the light pollution.

[dendrite]

Kp isn’t great, but we’re decently south now. Just need to clear out. 

[radiator]

X1.9 flare earlier this afternoon supposedly with somewhat Earth-directed CME may lead to a geomagnetic storm in 24 to 48 hours that might be aurora-worthy...

Kp is through the roof…over 8

Bz has been north though, but it’s been trending toward negative. So we’ll see.

Skies are mostly clear here, but I don’t see anything even with a 3s exposure.

spaceweatherlive has the Kp down to 6 now. It was very frustrating because everything was there except the Bz. Even down here the sky would have lit up had that been negative.
