Brian: Impressive light display possible tonight w/Aurora Borealis... but at northern latitudes...

Just a quick note: a solar storm over the weekend ejected a lot of charged particles into space and this will likely interact with our uppermost atmosphere later today, tonight, and first thing tomorrow morning. It is likely that a dramatic display of the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, will be observed over the northern latitudes of the United States and North America. Unfortunately, unless the display is very dramatic (only rarely are the Northern Lights spotted this far south), we will miss out here in southwest Florida.
