CHANCE OF MAGNETIC STORMS: A large coronal hole is turning toward Earth, and it
is spewing a stream of high-speed solar wind into space. NOAA forecasters
expect the stream to reach our planet on Oct. 25-26 with a 35% chance of
geomagnetic storms when it arrives. Storm levels could reach category G2, which
means the glow of auroras might be visible not only around the Arctic Circle
but also in northern-tier US states such as Minnesota and Michigan. Visit
