KP-6 G-2 Geomagnetic Solar Storm In Progress January 10th 2026!

James Kaufman, World News Report, today. Ladies and gentlemen, we are currently in a G2 geomagnetic storm, looking at our estimated planetary KP index, which is the one that NOAA and NASA has updated and uses exclusively. That's a KP6 G2 geomagnetic storm, much higher than any predictions. Now, we talked about the two light CMEs combining into a cannibal CME. That might be what we're seeing here. We see disturbances prior to that during the day. And looking at the college index, well, we've been in a G1 and G2 storm for the last 12 plus hours. Looking at our Fredericksburg index, it looks like, well, it looks like we've had six hours of a geomagnetic disturbance. and we're waiting on that next shoe to drop. That next shoe should drop at 7:10, and I will update you all around that time period. But we're going to look at the space weather directly. We also have 12 hours of geomagnetic disturbance looking at our Boulder KP Index. Let's concentrate on our estimated planetary index in this G2 KP6 geomagnetic storm that we've just entered. taking a look at NOAA's aurora forecast it looks like tonight's going to be a pretty good night more so over Europe than the U.S. it appears but it looks like we're going to get some northern lights aurora borealis please uh take pictures to the north and see if you were able to see anything we were on a G2 and that was really not forecasted so we should have aurora borealis to the north and if you can send your pictures into world news report today at gmail.com and we'll have a contest tomorrow evening where the best pictures will win actual prizes that i mailed to you you have to live in the U.S. though again send your aurora borealis pictures if you'd like to enter to world news report today and we'll have a contest if we receive at least 12 entries something like that although we'll show your pictures tomorrow evening no matter contest or not i'd love to have one and you guys will decide the winner of the photo contest originals only guys taking a look at our discover real-time solar wind satellite here you know our shields are angled north and then south north and then south uh our shields are actually down here the red line is below the zero which is bad uh but we're not getting it as bad as i thought we would there's a 49.77 reading there kind of odd and we had wind jump from about 457 to 628 now wind is pushed this high by plasma that's inbound so there's a very good chance that we're about to get just really hit hard with plasma you also see the temperatures jump up from very mild to above normal at least but that wind right there is most probably plasma inbound and there's some missing information here this could be a very large spike in plasma this doesn't make much here this 0.38 whatsoever shields are down completely in red although we are getting that northern angle in blue most of the time which i would guess we'd be in a g3 or maybe even a g4 storm if we weren't getting that although these winds are not that strong 629 kilometers per second and there's been no real plasma hits except for well these eyeballs up here the 49.77 and the one right below it if i can grab it, well i can't couple right here also let's take a look at ACE and see if we can get any better of a picture, actually i have something better than ACE, so this is plasma on space weather live and you can see we've been getting hit hard for the last two hours and it's considerably dropped off, i don't know why this is not showing up on DSCOVR satellite, they had to get this and they did get it from NOAA, i can see the caption look at this plasma, they went all the way to 30.37, none of this is showing up on DSCOVR or ACE but they had to get it from NOAA, very very strange, we'll take a look at the solar winds looks like this storm may or may not be over, it's supposed to be two CMEs, so we'll see what happens solar winds were pushed up above 600 there and are subsiding, but CMEs should not be solar wind unless the solar wind is pushed in front of the plasma, coronal mass ejection should be plasma solar winds are caused by coronal holes this was a solar flare, filaments and solar flares actually release coronal mass ejections which are plasma or a little bit heavier solar wind you can see here our Bz is south, our shields are basically down, that's why that plasma that wasn't super substantial brought us into a G2 geomagnetic storm, now they have 15 hours of this forecasted. Everything looks like it's dropping off. That might have just been the first of two CMEs that are inbound, or that might have been them doubling up. But boy, that was quick. About two hours of decent plasma, up to about 40, below 50 centimeters cubed. Chills down. Now, yes, NOAA is always wrong. They had this storm starting at about 1 p.m. It looks like it started about two hours ago about 3 p.m they have it actually going through the end of the day which is 7 p.m central here uh this is 10 uh this is 4 a.m so they have it ongoing through 4 a.m and they never went over a G1 geomagnetic storm in their forecast but they do have 15 hours of a geomagnetic storm and we've seen two hours thus far and we're going to wait for this next bar to drop right here i'll have that information about 7 15 and i will update you and let you know but it looks like the storm has subsided from nothing to a G2 geomagnetic storm and perhaps back to nothing if if they go with the actual data that we're looking at, I don't see any more plasma hitting, and solar winds have relaxed. Again, there were two CMEs, and maybe they did not combine, and maybe we're just seeing the effects of one. Shields are down, but our shields are angled to the north, which is a slight or small advantage. That said, God bless, folks. Get those pictures for the contest. win some prizes please share give us a thumbs up and hey remember anything's possible bizarro world
