Our ancestors didn’t die of dysentery on the Oregon Trail just so you could die from drinking unpasteurized milk in your beige McMansion.

Considering I couldn't tell where the gopro was pointed in the dark, got a decent time-lapse of the aurora

Aurora Forecast Update for 2025-11-13T03:40:05Z

ALERT: Geomagnetic K-index of 5
Threshold Reached: 2025 Nov 13 0330 UTC
Synoptic Period: 0300-0600 UTC

Active Warning: Yes
NOAA Scale: G1 - Minor
Additional Details Here.
Space Weather Message Code: ALTK05 Serial Number: 1912 Issue Time: 2025 Nov 13 0335 UTC ALERT: Geomagnetic K-index of 5 Threshold Reached: 2025 Nov 13 0330 UTC Synoptic Period: 0300-0600 UTC Active Warning: Yes NOAA Scale: G1 - Minor NOAA Space Weather Scale descriptions can be found at www.swpc.noaa.gov/noaa-scales-explanation Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 60 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude. Induced Currents - Weak power grid fluctuations can occur. Spacecraft - Minor impact on satellite operations possible. Aurora - Aurora may be visible at high latitudes, i.e., northern tier of the U.S. such as northern Michigan and Maine. :Product: 3-Day Forecast :Issued: 2025 Nov 13 0030 UTC # Prepared by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, Space Weather Prediction Center # A. NOAA Geomagnetic Activity Observation and Forecast The greatest observed 3 hr Kp over the past 24 hours was 9 (NOAA Scale G5). The greatest expected 3 hr Kp for Nov 13-Nov 15 2025 is 8.33 (NOAA Scale G4). NOAA Kp index breakdown Nov 13-Nov 15 2025 Nov 13 Nov 14 Nov 15 00-03UT 8.00 (G4) 4.67 (G1) 2.33 03-06UT 8.33 (G4) 4.00 3.00 06-09UT 7.33 (G3) 3.33 2.33 09-12UT 5.00 (G1) 3.67 2.00 12-15UT 4.33 3.33 1.33 15-18UT 4.00 3.00 1.33 18-21UT 4.33 3.00 2.00 21-00UT 4.67 (G1) 3.33 2.33 Rationale: G4 (Severe) geomagnetic storming remains likely, primarily during the early hours of the 13 Nov UTC-day, due to ongoing CME effects. Primarily G1 (Minor) to G2 (Moderate) geomagnetic storming is likely thereafter, carrying on into the early hours of the 14 Nov UTC-day as CME effects gradually wane. 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 Nov 13-Nov 15 2025 Nov 13 Nov 14 Nov 15 S1 or greater 99% 75% 45% Rationale: S1 (Minor) to S2 (Moderate) solar radiation storms are expected to continue through 13 Nov before decreasing to the lower ends of the S1 (Minor) threshold over the course of 14 Nov as CME influences pass beyond the near-Earth environment. C. NOAA Radio Blackout Activity and Forecast No radio blackouts were observed over the past 24 hours. Radio Blackout Forecast for Nov 13-Nov 15 2025 Nov 13 Nov 14 Nov 15 R1-R2 85% 85% 85% R3 or greater 55% 55% 55% Rationale: R1-2 (Minor-Moderate) radioblackouts are expected through 15 Nov and are likely to be accompanied by isolated R3 (Strong) events as AR 4274 makes it approach towards the western limb of the solar disk.

The solar wind is still cooking! Bz is tanking to -20 nT now and wind speeds are extremely elevated > 800 km/s. The central U.S. could see more aurora tonight during substorm activity. Keep an eye on things, and I’ll update as the night goes on.

Below are two videos showing the White House vs Waldorf Astoria renovations. Can someone knowledgable about the relevant trades breakdown what it took to do each one? What was the process? How much human skill and craftsmanship were involved?

My view of the aurora from the five-hour city budget meeting tonight. Not too bad.

I really need to get to bed, but I just poked my head out the back door again. This is the view from my deck. All of this is looking south. When the geomagnetic storms are like this, the oval overshoots me and stretches into the US, which is why so many are seeing it tonight. #aurora
A bright red glow reaches up into the darkness, illuminating the silhouettes of tall slightly scraggly, spruce trees Swirls of green and red light sweep down from the sky, lighting up the forest and contrasting against the Stark silhouettes of trees Dramatic swirls of green and red light swirl down from the middle of the sky, starkly contrasting against the bear of Poplar, tall Spruce trees. Still more dramatic curtains of light sweep down from above in sheets of green and red. The tall bear poplars and spruce spires our starkly silhouetted.

Here is the current view from Imperial, CA looing north! This is literally mere miles from the U.S./Mexico border. ALL U.S. STATES (possibly excluding Hawaii) CAN SEE AURORA RIGHT NOW if clear!

If you have a very low-latitude aurora observation from tonight, please record your exact time and rough location and DO NOT DELETE your photo. These observations will be important for scientific research of this event.

Comment below if you have a low-latitude aurora sighting.

Great aurora tonight! Location: eastern Iowa.
Bright magenta aurora over pale yellow green aurora. Two spot-like green aurora to the left. Bright magenta aurora, almost stair step looking and stretching up into the sky, over lime green aurora close to the horizon.

The Aurora borealis in my sky tonight in Alberta. Streaks of red and green like a laser light show in sky.

One thing I ❤️ about Montana? We get a chance to see the northern lights every so often. They are so bright tonight!
