NOAA forecasters have issued a geomagnetic storm warning for Sept. 12th when a CME launched on Sept. 9th is expected to deliver a glancing but potent blow to Earths magnetic field. The storm could reach moderate intensity (G2-class) with auroras visible across northern-tier US states such as Maine, Michigan, and Minnnesota. Another CME could be following close on its heels if todays X-flare also launched a cloud in our direction. It all adds up to a high probability of geomagnetic storms in the days ahead.
