   SUMMERTIME AURORAS: As expected, a high-speed stream of solar wind (with a CME   
   embedded in the flow) hit Earth's magnetic field during the late hours of Aug.   
   2nd.  The resulting G1-class geomagnetic storm sparked bright auroras across   
   countries in Europe as well as several northern-tier US states.  The show   
   might not be over. NOAA forecasters estimate a 55% chance of similar storms on   
   August 3rd as Earth continues to feel the effects of the solar wind.  Visit

   Today's Space Weather alert is sponsored by SolarFest USA, a unique meeting of   
   professional and amateur solar observers on the 1-year pre-anniversary of the   
   Great American Solar Eclipse. Learn more!
