SUMMERTIME AURORAS: As expected, a high-speed stream of solar wind (with a CME
embedded in the flow) hit Earth's magnetic field during the late hours of Aug.
2nd. The resulting G1-class geomagnetic storm sparked bright auroras across
countries in Europe as well as several northern-tier US states. The show might
not be over. NOAA forecasters estimate a 55% chance of similar storms on August
3rd as Earth continues to feel the effects of the solar wind. Visit

Today's Space Weather alert is sponsored by SolarFest USA, a unique meeting of
professional and amateur solar observers on the 1-year pre-anniversary of the
Great American Solar Eclipse. Learn more!
