new forecast: severe space storm headed to earth

editor's note: this forecast replaces the predictive aspects of this earlier
story on the solar flare.

space weather forecasters revised their predictions for storminess after a
major flare erupted on the sun overnight threatening damage to communication
systems and power grids while offering up the wonder of northern lights.

"we're looking for very strong, severe geomagnetic storming" to begin probably
around mid-day thursday, joe kunches, lead forecaster at the noaa space
environment center, told space.com this afternoon.

the storm is expected to generate aurora or northern lights, as far south as
the northern united states thursday night. astronauts aboard the international
space station are not expected to be put at additional risk, kunches said.
radio communications, satellites and power grids could face potential
interruptions or damage, however.
