    Due to a strong Solar wind heading towards earth Mid Lat. watchers could be in with a chance of seeing the northern lights,

    Unfortunately , once again weather isnt looking to be in our favour, but still everyone keep an eye on the sky! :)

    [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]GEOMAGNETIC STORM WATCH: [/FONT]NOAA forecasters estimate a 60% chance of polar geomagnetic storms on Feb. 3rd when a coronal mass ejection is due to hit Earth's magnetic field. A solar wind stream following close behind the CME could extend the action into Feb. 4th and 5th. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras.
