SUMMARY
A significant coronal mass ejection (CMe) is expected to arrive tonight at 2300 EST, making auroras visible across the mid-United States. Observers at higher latitudes, such as 54N, report clear skies but have yet to see any auroras as of 2240 PDT. Users are encouraged to monitor updates from @Stavros Kiri, who provides insights on solar activity that can help predict aurora visibility. This event highlights the importance of solar weather in determining aurora sightings.
