*A SOLAR STORM IS COMING:* Yesterday, during a flurry of M-class solar
flares, sunspot AR2673 hurled a CME toward Earth. NOAA forecasters say
the cloud is likely to arrive late on Sept. 6th, causing
moderately-strong (G2-class) geomagnetic storms with isolated periods of
strong (G3-class) storming on Sept. 6th and 7th. Visit Spaceweather.com
