Difference here is this is multiple flares… there are 3 coming. Tonight is the first and second, which might have essentially merged. Tomorrow is the third, which is also the stronger one. I definitely went out tonight because I didn’t want to count on a two-night feature, but real chance tomorrow as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappy Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago Totally forgot there was a chance. Seems some friends in the area saw it an hour ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago Took a quick look 10 mins ago and was easy to see with naked eyes. 4 second exposure on this pic so obviously enhanced lol but I could see the red thru the branches with my eyes as well. Thought about running down to the lake for a big horizon pic but man it's windy and cold. Maybe tomorrow. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago Stronger CME should hit today sometime. So have to see how timing works out with darkness and cloud cover. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthArlington101 Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago My current plan is to roll out before/during sunset and drive north. Hoping the traffic isn’t heinous. anything around a 12pm hit should be good… substorms lasted til like 4am for yesterday’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Is tonight's supposed to be a little stronger? I might try to head over to Rock Creek Park where at least it's not sooooo bright. Perhaps on the golf course I could find a spot with a view of the northern sky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say potentially yes - the prior two may have "cleared the way" for this one. However, if it arrives too early it might not be well-timed with daylight/night.

So all is not lost if that is the case, especially since the days are short now. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthArlington101 Posted 27 minutes ago Share Posted 27 minutes ago Looks like we're on track for an impact in the next few hours. At this point, I don't think we need to worry about it being too early. More worried about a glancing blow. Undecided on if I go north/east/west tonight. Will probably look at the clouds and drive somewhere around sunset. Might base it on traffic lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
