Monday, Nov. 8: Quiet sun but aurora sightings possible at high latitudes Today there is a good possibility of seeing the northern lights at high latitudes primarily above the Arctic Circle. A maximum Kp of around 3 Kp is predicted for tonight from around 1:00 - 7:00 p.
m. EST , according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 's Space Weather Prediction Center. This could bring unsettled aurora activity in high latitudes.A large Earth-facing coronal hole could also bring an increase in geomagnetic activity over the coming days. When directed at Earth, the stream of solar wind flowing from a coronal hole can impact Earth's magnetosphere, triggering geomagnetic storm conditions and resulting in impressive aurora displays.The sun has been rather quiet of late, but if it unleashes a powerful solar flare accompanied by a coronal mass ejection in the coming days, we could be in for an aurora treat. CMEs are large plumes of plasma and magnetic field that erupt from the sun. When they collide with Earth they can trigger geomagnetic storms which in turn lead to dramatic auroras.Current solar flare predictions for today courtesy of SpaceWeatherLive.comM-class solar flare: 50%X-class solar flare: 10%
