A weak CME passage late on Monday was enough to generate a minor geomagnetic disturbance (Kp4) and nice aurora at higher latitudes. With Comet NEOWISE making an appearance in the sky just after sunset, the timing was right to capture some brilliant photos. Heather Reid sends us this nice example from Lake Temagami, Ontario, Canada. Thanks for sharing!

| Bz South / Aurora Watch | |
A minor geomagnetic disturbance (Kp4) is currently in progress at higher latitudes thanks to the solar wind stream containing a sector of southward Bz. Should the Bz remain in this state for a longer duration, minor (G1) storming could be possible. Visible aurora may be possible tonight at high latitudes should local weather and light conditions allow.
