Weather nuts are going on about a "good possibility" the Northern Lights will be visible before the sun rises tomorrow...

Right now it's cloudy here, but it's supposed to clear overnight.
Be interesting to see how it effects radio propagation tonight.

If you see them, give me a call and I'll get up too.

Don't bother setting your alarm tonight either...
"Space Weather Prediction Center scientists on Thursday downgraded the potential for visible Northern Lights displays visible in Michigan, saying the anticipated storm did not peak as expected.
A geomagnetic storm watch anticipated a coronal mass ejection, or CME, that would impact Earth on Wednesday, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Space Weather Prediction Center says."

It was bright and sunny here all day. But around sunset, the sky clouded over.
