~Space Weather Update~ CHANCE OF FLARES, Rare RED AURORAS

CHANCE OF FLARES: NOAA forecasters estimate a 40% chance of M-class solar flares and a 5% chance of X-flares today. The most likely sources would be sunspots AR1610 and AR1614, which have unstable 'beta-gamma' magnetic fields. Eruptions from AR1614 would likely be Earth-directed. Solar flare alerts: text, voice.

 

RED AURORAS: Auroras are usually green, and sometimes purple, but seldom do sky watchers see much red. The geomagnetic storm of Nov. 13/14 was different. It produced auroras with a distinctly rosy hue. David E. Cartier, Sr. photographed the phenomenon near Marsh Lake, about 40 km east of Whitehorse in Canada's Yukon Territory:

 

"I was amazed by the deep scarlet color, which was immediately recognizable to the unaided eye," says Cartier. Similar splashes of candy-cane red were spotted over Wisconsin and Michigan.

CHANCE OF FLARES: NOAA forecasters estimate a 40% chance of M-class solar flares and a 5% chance of X-flares today. The most likely source would be sunspot AR1613, which has an unstable magnetic field. Because AR1613 is directly facing Earth, any eruptions from the active region will almost certainly be geoeffective. Solar flare alerts: text, voice.

Chicago Snow

A trace of snow in Chicago usually doesn't warrant a news story. But this time, it's different. The trace of snow that fell at O'Hare International Airport late Monday evening ended the second-longest snowless streak in Chicago weather history.

The March heat wave that brought unprecedented 85-degree weather to the Great Lakes region in the final days of winter also cut off the 2011-12 snow season early. Chicago's final snowflakes for the season fell on March 4; in an average year, the city's last measurable snowfall (0.1 inch or greater) comes April 1.

ROME: Flooding struck the northern outskirts of Rome on Wednesday after heavy rains in central Italy swelled the Tiber River, as the historic city of Venice and popular tourist regions of Tuscany and Umbria counted the costs of extensive flood damage.

The river that snakes through the Italian capital broke its banks in some areas, tearing boats from their moorings and sweeping debris in the current. The Aniene, a tributary of the Tiber in northern Rome, also flooded.

The Washington Post - AP, 11/13/12

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — The rain has tapered off and floodwaters no longer claw at houses, but the situation across much of Haiti remained grim on Tuesday following an autumn of punishing rains that have killed scores of people and that threaten to cause even more hunger across the impoverished nation.

In places such as Croix-des-Missions, on the northeastern edge of the Haitian capital, the walls of dozens of homes along a pale brown river have been broken or ripped away, exposing clothes, bedding and everything else to the repeated downpours.

6:10PM EST November 13. 2012 - ROME – Three days of heavy rains and winds have left large parts of northern and central Italy under water Tuesday, turning streets into canals and causing the collapse of a bridge as utility workers drove across.

The three employees of the utility company Enel were en route to reconnect power near Grosetto, in Tuscany, when the bridge they were driving over in Umbria collapsed into the fast-moving water below. Their car plunged into the water, and they were confirmed dead.
