I wasn’t in range to catch the auroras last night- here is an aurora pic I took in Aurora, CO abt a year ago - the clouds broke in time to catch them

Staring out the bus emergency exit skylight waiting for my stop thinking about the Aurora being there despite the sun still shining, invisible ethereal ribbons of electromagnetism, spirits scribbling on the sky in ways too subtle to see right now

Aurora Forecast Update for 2026-01-20T08:10:03Z ALERT: Geomagnetic K-index of 7 Threshold Reached: 2026 Jan 20 0752 UTC Synoptic Period: 0600-0900 UTC Active Warning: Yes NOAA Scale: G3 - Strong Additional Details Here.
Space Weather Message Code: ALTK07
Serial Number: 203
Issue Time: 2026 Jan 20 0800 UTC

ALERT: Geomagnetic K-index of 7
 Threshold Reached: 2026 Jan 20 0752 UTC
Synoptic Period: 0600-0900 UTC
 
Active Warning: Yes
NOAA Scale: G3 - Strong

NOAA Space Weather Scale descriptions can be found at
www.swpc.noaa.gov/noaa-scales-explanation

Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 50 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude.
Induced Currents - Power system voltage irregularities possible, false alarms may be triggered on some protection devices.
Spacecraft - Systems may experience surface charging; increased drag on low Earth-orbit satellites and orientation problems may occur.
Navigation - Intermittent satellite navigation (GPS) problems, including loss-of-lock and increased range error may occur.
Radio - HF (high frequency) radio may be intermittent.
Aurora - Aurora may be seen as low as Pennsylvania to Iowa to Oregon.

A. NOAA Geomagnetic Activity Observation and Forecast

The greatest observed 3 hr Kp over the past 24 hours was 8 (NOAA Scale
G4).
The greatest expected 3 hr Kp for Jan 20-Jan 22 2026 is 7.67 (NOAA Scale
G4).

NOAA Kp index breakdown Jan 20-Jan 22 2026

             Jan 20       Jan 21       Jan 22
00-03UT       7.67 (G4)    4.33         3.00     
03-06UT       6.67 (G3)    4.67 (G1)    3.33     
06-09UT       6.33 (G2)    4.00         2.33     
09-12UT       6.33 (G2)    3.00         2.00

21-00UT       4.67 (G1)    3.00         2.00     

Rationale: G4 (Severe) or greater geomagnetic storms are expected on 20
Jan due to effects from a CME that left the Sun on 19 Jan.

B. NOAA Solar Radiation Activity Observation and Forecast

Solar radiation, as observed by NOAA GOES-18 over the past 24 hours, was
above S-scale storm level thresholds.

Solar Radiation Storm Forecast for Jan 20-Jan 22 2026

              Jan 20  Jan 21  Jan 22
S1 or greater   99%     95%     65%

Rationale: An S2 (Moderate) solar radiation storm is in progress at the
time of this summary. S1 (Minor) radiation levels are expected on 21-22
Jan.

C. NOAA Radio Blackout Activity and Forecast

Radio blackouts reaching the R1 levels were observed over the past 24
hours. The largest was at Jan 19 2026 1119 UTC.

Radio Blackout Forecast for Jan 20-Jan 22 2026

              Jan 20        Jan 21        Jan 22
R1-R2           65%           65%           65%
R3 or greater   25%           20%           20%

Rationale: R1-R2 (Minor-Moderate) or greater radio blackouts are likely,
with a slight chance for R3 (Strong) or greater through 22 Jan.

#Aurora from #Lancaster last night, during a mostly cloudy night. This is a phone photo of my compact camera screen. The phone seems useless at aurora.
Slightly blurry view. Edge of house to the left, partially streetlight lit tree at the bottom, white patchy cloud to the right, and green in the middle and the top, with shadowy clouds speckled across it.

Last night's Aurora Borealis passing by Orion. #aurora #nightsky #astrophotography
Night sky dotted with stars, featuring the Orion constellation near the center (with Orion’s Belt visible), while broad, soft ribbons of green aurora sweep horizontally across the scene like glowing curtains.

The night sky with red Aurora borealis covering half of the picture and a small bit of green at the bottom just above some trees. An upright standing Big Dipper is just above the Aurora

12:15 AM Tuesday: Some folks are seeing the insane pulsating #aurora over parts of the PNW!! Here in Federal Way, I have visibility of about 150 feet as dense fog moves in. Expect areas of FREEZING FOG into the morning commute. Treat it like black ice. Be safe out there! #wawx

Very pretty skies in the north west of England last last night. The Aurora put on quite a show.
