*GEOMAGNETIC STORM IN PROGRESS:* A G1-class geomagnetic storm is 
underway during the early hours of Feb. 27th as Earth enters a stream of 
fast-moving solar wind. G1-class storms are relatively minor, but they 
can spark bright auroras around the Arctic Circle. NOAA forecasters say 
there is a chance this storm could intensify to category G2. If so, 
auroras might descend into northern-tier US states from Maine to 
Washington. Visit Spaceweather.com
