Possible Northern Lights Early Saturday Morning for Northern California

Thursday's X-Class solar flare could bring Northern Lights to Northern California, according to the National Weather Service in Eureka.
All eyes are on the solar wind data to note the expected passage on Saturday of a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) from Thursday's solar event. NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) expects G1 (minor) with the chance of attaining G2 (moderate) Geomagnetic Storm activity after 6 a.m. California time on Saturday, July 14.
This could bring Northern Lights to areas of Northern California pre-dawn Saturday morning.
