Right On Cue -- ANOTHER "Solar Max" Flare / Wave, Coursing Past Earth, Tonight And Into Later Tomorrow...

Earlier this week, we mentioned a press briefing -- coming on the 15^th -- as to this current solar max cycle (about half-done) -- and what to expect, from here on. Not to put too fine a point on it. . . but, expect more. . . of this.

And for beleaguered Floridians, this could not come at a worse time. The cell disruptions are expected to be mostly a parallel or so north of Florida, but people in Tennessee, and perhaps even Oxford, Mississippi may see the aurora tonight, if the skies are clear.

Here's the latest, from NPR, NCAR and NOAA:

. . .A severe solar storm is headed to Earth that could stress power grids even more as the U.S. deals with major back-to-back hurricanes, space weather forecasters said Wednesday.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued a severe geomagnetic storm watch for Thursday into Friday after an outburst from the sun was detected earlier this week. Such a storm could temporarily disrupt power and radio signals.

NOAA has notified operators of power plants and orbiting spacecraft to take precautions. It also alerted the Federal Emergency Management Agency about possible power disruptions, as the organization copes with the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Helene and gears up for Hurricane Milton barreling across the Gulf of Mexico toward Florida. . . .

Now you know. And, onward. . . go Buffs [also a home to NOAA and NCAR], let's beat those Cats, from K-State in two nights -- in Boulder!

Between now and then -- and always -- let's be excellent to one another -- even as Tangerine floods the tee-vee advertising spaces with odious lies about our fellow Americans, many of whom have lawfully now migrated here.

He's to be. . . summarily. . . ignored.
