AURORA ALERT: a strong solar storm could bring the northern lights to much of the U.S. tomorrow night (Sunday, June 7). NOAA has issued a G3 ("strong") geomagnetic storm watch for June 8. If it pans out, the aurora may be visible across the northern states and into the central U.S., with a small chance even farther south during brief bursts called substorms.

What's happening: on June 6, a large filament erupted from sunspot region AR 4461 alongside an M1.8 solar flare. The flare was modest, but the eruption launched a fast, full-halo CME (a giant cloud of solar plasma) with a clear Earth-directed component, modeled at over 1,000 km/s. NOAA's model has it arriving around 11 UT on June 8 (7 AM Eastern, 6 AM Central, 4 AM Pacific on Monday morning), while NASA's runs lean earlier, closer to Sunday evening for North America.

All models carry about +/- 7 hours of uncertainty, so the realistic window runs from Sunday evening through Monday midday. For U.S. chasers, that makes Sunday night into early Monday the night to watch. If the CME shows up late, Monday night becomes the backup, and NOAA already has a G2 watch posted for June 9.

How strong: NOAA's official forecast is G3 (Kp 7), but the bulk of this CME is heading south and east of the Sun-Earth line, so a lot depends on whether we catch the core or a flank. It could land higher or lower. Don't put too much stock in pinpoint Kp numbers or app forecasts before the storm arrives. Space weather is hard to predict and the storm will evolve on its own. Treat forecasts as a sign activity may be enhanced, not a guarantee.

How to catch it: get away from city lights, find a clear view to the north, and look during the darkest part of the night. Watch for substorms, when the sky can go from dark to full of color in just a few minutes. Unlike last week's storm, the moon is on our side this time: it's half-lit and doesn't rise until roughly 1-2 AM local, so the evening and midnight hours are properly dark. Clouds are the bigger wildcard, so check your local forecast before you drive anywhere.

The map shows roughly how far south the aurora might reach Sunday night. Forecasts like this don't always come true, so keep your hopes up but your expectations realistic.

@wa_fpiu @gabbyrose_wx It's propaganda, trans and queer people have always been around and are the direct reason there is gay rights today. You've just chosen to have your head in the sand until recently where you've been told trans and queer people are bad.

[Em🏔️ @TheEmWx]

@wa_fpiu @gabbyrose_wx You fell for a false rhetoric and you now want other people to believe it.

[Em🏔️ @TheEmWx]

@wa_fpiu @gabbyrose_wx Okay so everyone in the community is normal then as all of us just want to live our lives without people like you trying to spread your propaganda. It's people like you that are the problem in this world, running up in peoples spaces trying to cause issues.

Deep inner suffering inevitably arises when the human person is reduced to performance, consumption, or a statistical datum. Many young people today live under the yoke of expectations to perform, immersed in an exasperated competitiveness that generates anxiety, fear of not measuring up, and disorientation.

@wa_fpiu @gabbyrose_wx “Normal Gays” acting like queer and trans people weren’t the reason why “normal gays” have the ability to even be gay now. outta here with that bullshit.

A former 8-year-old Spirit Airlines Airbus A320, N652NK, performs a special wing wave after departing Las Vegas while being ferried to storage at Marana Pinal Airpark, Arizona.

The aircraft had been parked at Las Vegas Harry Reid Int'l Airport for about a month before its departure. The flight was likely operated by a repossession company as part of the ferry process to storage.

@METEOROLOGISTS ******IDIOTIC PEOPLE**** Are NOW running the “METEOROLOGISTS” Twitter account and attempting to stoke fear and profit off it!!!!

(Not only do you lack basic meteorological knowledge to make realistic predictions, but you lack morals.)

@kastieltbl it's... scary but we have to stay strong. they want us scared, that's how they win
