Space Weather News for Dec. 4, 2017 http://spaceweather.com https://www.facebook.com/spaceweatherdotcom GEOMAGNETIC STORM PREDICTED (G2-CLASS): A high-speed stream of solar wind is approaching Earth, and NOAA forecasters say there is a 75% chance of polar geomagnetic storms when it arrives during the late hours of Dec. 4th. Periods of moderately-strong G2-class storming on Dec. 4th and 5th could send Northern Lights spilling across the Canadian border into upper-tier US states; affect shortwave radio transmissions at high latitudes; and confuse wildlife that use magnetic cues for navigation.
