According to the .gov SPACE WEATHER PREDICTION CENTER the earth will experience several CME impacts in the next few days.

What you do with the information is up to you

This looks very bad.

Should we stock up a bit?  Maybe 4X more ice and beer for the weekend?

:Product: Report of Solar-Geophysical Activity
:Issued: 2024 May 08 2200 UTC
# Prepared jointly by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA,
# Space Weather Prediction Center and the U.S. Air Force.
#
Joint USAF/NOAA Solar Geophysical Activity Report and Forecast
SDF Number 129 Issued at 2200Z on 08 May 2024

IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 07/2100Z to
08/2100Z: Solar activity has been at high levels for the past 24 hours.
The largest solar event of the period was a X1 event observed at
08/0141Z from Region 3663 (N26W70). There are currently 6 numbered
sunspot regions on the disk.
IB.  Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is likely to be high on
days one, two, and three (09 May, 10 May, 11 May).

IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 07/2100Z to 08/2100Z: The geomagnetic
field has been at quiet to unsettled levels for the past 24 hours. Solar
wind speed reached a peak of 548 km/s at 08/0256Z.  Electrons greater
than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 151 pfu.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at quiet to active levels on day one (09 May), unsettled to minor
storm levels on day two (10 May) and minor storm to major storm levels
on day three (11 May). Protons have a chance of crossing threshold on
days one, two, and three (09 May, 10 May, 11 May).

III.  Event probabilities 09 May-11 May
Class M    95/95/95
Class X    60/60/60
Proton     25/25/25
PCAF       green

IV.  Penticton 10.7 cm Flux
Observed           08 May 227
Predicted   09 May-11 May 225/225/220
90 Day Mean        08 May 164

V.  Geomagnetic A Indices
Observed Afr/Ap 07 May  006/006
Estimated Afr/Ap 08 May  007/007
Predicted Afr/Ap 09 May-11 May  010/012-026/037-035/050

VI.  Geomagnetic Activity Probabilities 09 May-11 May
A.  Middle Latitudes
Active                35/35/30
Minor Storm           15/30/35
Major-severe storm    01/10/25
B.  High Latitudes
Active                15/10/05
Minor Storm           30/25/20
Major-severe storm    50/65/75


This says 75% chance of a Major / Severe storm on the 11th
and that does not include the 12 which is when the big CME is supposed to hit because at the date / time group this was made, that last CME ( the one early this morning ) had not happened yet.

The hair is standing up on the back of my neck so to speak.

If I remember right they determined that the Carrington event was two CME's with the first depleting the ionosphere and paving the way for the full force of the second. Looks like this may be a similar happening.

They finally updated the Solar Wind prediction.




It doesn’t show the fourth CME catching up with the first three.

I wouldn’t be surprised if that gets refined in the coming hours.

Time on the chart is UTC.  So +4 hours on eastern.

Still nowhere near Halloween 2003 level of output but 3664 will still be on the Earth-facing disk for another couple days.

This is like lots of decent wins at the slot machine but really hoping for the jackpot.

With the multiple impacts and the earth’s magnetic field strength has decreased a lot since 2003. This could have the same impact as then or worse. Either way the light show is going to be great.

NOAA is saying cme will merge and G4 conditions late the 10 or the 11th

"G 4
Severe
Power systems: Possible widespread voltage control problems and some protective systems will mistakenly trip out key assets from the grid.

Spacecraft operations: May experience surface charging and tracking problems, corrections may be needed for orientation problems.

Other systems: Induced pipeline currents affect preventive measures, HF radio propagation sporadic, satellite navigation degraded for hours, low-frequency radio navigation disrupted, and aurora has been seen as low as Alabama and northern California (typically 45° geomagnetic lat.).

Kp = 8, including a 9-

@migradog

Probably.

This is what my email said:

Navigation - Satellite navigation (GPS) degraded or inoperable for hours.
Radio - HF (high frequency) radio propagation sporadic or blacked out.
Aurora - Aurora may be seen as low as Alabama and northern California.

April 2023 we had fast solar wind from a strong coronal hole interact with a couple CMEs. That combined with the IMF Bz going solidly South for most of the night pushed us into G4 solar storm conditions for most of the night and briefly pushed us into G5 territory and nothing happened to the power grid. This storm isn't expected to reach that strength and it certainly isn't going to last as long. I wouldn't worry.

The sprinkler system has been charged with gasoline and tracer rounds have been loaded.

I have spread clothes and furniture in the front yard to appear as though we have already been looted.

The boomba roomba has been deployed.

Standing by to stand by.

Pictures from a couple months back showed people seeing glow from it at Bogus, or a little further north like Council/Cascade.

Watching them on the SWPC website was neat because it seemed like there were a couple spots just pumping out flares.

It will be interesting to see because of the line of them that are directed to earth, and each flare was a few hours apart.
