CME IMPACT: As predicted by analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab, 
a CME hit Earth's magnetic field on Jan. 24 at ~1500 UT (10 am EST). 
A geomagnetic storm is brewing in the aftermath of the impact, but as 
this alert is being written it is too soon to say how weak or strong 
the storm might be. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for 
auroras after local nightfall; the hours around local midnight are 
often best for seeing the Northern Lights. Chances for a good display 
favor observers in northern Europe, Greenland, Iceland, Canada, 
Alaska, and possibly northern tier US states such as Maine, Wisconsin 
and Minnesota.
