A coronal mass ejection (CME) swept past Earth earlier today (1000 UT, July 22nd) and, although it did not spark auroras right away, solar wind
conditions in the wake of the CME are increasingly favorable for a geomagnetic storm. Sky watchers in, e.g., Canada and northern-tier US states like
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan and Washington should be alert for auroras tonight.
