AURORA WATCH: mild storms are certainly possible

Ref: http://spaceweather.com/

AURORA WATCH: A series of weak coronal mass
ejections (CMEs) will probably sweep past Earth during
the next 36 hours. Intense geomagnetic storms are
unlikely, but mild storms are certainly possible. Sky
watchers in northern Europe, Canada and northern-tier
US states from Washington to Maine should remain alert
for auroras.
