Good news, there's still a chance tonight: NOAA has Kp around 5-5.7 forecast, which can bring aurora to the northern US border states under clear, dark skies. Look north after dark!

⚡ Kp index spiked to 7 (observed) — matching NOAA's G3 storm threshold. Southward Bz dropped to -23.82 nT, the sharpest dip in the last 24 hours of solar wind data. #northernlights #auroraborealis #aurora
Two-panel dark chart. Left panel: bar chart of the NOAA planetary Kp index, colored by observed, estimated, and predicted values; the peak observed Kp reached 7.0, matching NOAA's G3 storm level. Right panel: line chart of solar wind Bz (north-south magnetic field) over the last 24 hours, dipping to a minimum of -23.82 nT, the most negative value in the series. Headline reads 'Kp index hit 7, matching G3 level.'
