NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center -- the nation's official source of warnings and alerts about space weather and its impacts on Earth -- today issued a warning for a strong, G3 geomagnetic storm on Earth resulting from a significant explosion from the sun's corona Saturday morning. G-scale solar storms range from G1 (minor) to G5 (extreme). Today's warning updated a watch issued on Saturday.

This animation shows a forecast from WSA-Enlil, an advanced forecast model used in NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center. The sun is yellow at left; Earth is green at right. This forecast was produced Saturday, and projects the coronal mass ejection - in red, black and white - impacting Earth today.

  • I think I'm going to be sick...

  • @trailboyus66 tesla is the degree for magnetism

  • What is 40 Tesla?  This is a side of weather study I would like to learn more about.

  • This really jacked up the Magnetosphere from the magnetometer report today. This was no shit either. We went way beyond 40 Tesla today.
