Sam Tweedy singing on stage. Jeff Tweedy in the background.

Jeff Tweedy at First Ave last night was wonderful. But I keep thinking about how Sam Tweedy charged to the front stage to belt out the chorus for Forever Never Ends. He smashed it.

It's getting cold in here.
*puts on all my clothes*

It's been a big night for me, celestially.

Space Weather Message Code: ALTK05 Serial Number: 1894 Issue Time: 2025 Nov 06 0336 UTC ALERT: Geomagnetic K-index of 5 Threshold Reached: 2025 Nov 06 0330 UTC Synoptic Period: 0300-0600 UTC Active Warning: Yes NOAA Scale: G1 - Minor NOAA Space Weather Scale descriptions can be found at www.swpc.noaa.gov/noaa-scales-explanation Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 60 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude. Induced Currents - Weak power grid fluctuations can occur. Spacecraft - Minor impact on satellite operations possible. Aurora - Aurora may be visible at high latitudes, i.e., northern tier of the U.S. such as northern Michigan and Maine.

:Product: 3-Day Forecast :Issued: 2025 Nov 06 0030 UTC # Prepared by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, Space Weather Prediction Center # A. NOAA Geomagnetic Activity Observation and Forecast The greatest observed 3 hr Kp over the past 24 hours was 6 (NOAA Scale G2). The greatest expected 3 hr Kp for Nov 06-Nov 08 2025 is 7.33 (NOAA Scale G3). NOAA Kp index breakdown Nov 06-Nov 08 2025 Nov 06 Nov 07 Nov 08 00-03UT 5.33 (G1) 7.33 (G3) 4.67 (G1) 03-06UT 5.33 (G1) 6.00 (G2) 4.67 (G1) 06-09UT 5.67 (G2) 5.00 (G1) 4.00 09-12UT 4.67 (G1) 7.33 (G3) 3.67 12-15UT 4.33 6.33 (G2) 3.33 15-18UT 4.00 4.67 (G1) 3.00 18-21UT 5.67 (G2) 3.67 3.00 21-00UT 6.67 (G3) 3.33 3.67 Rationale: G3 (Strong) or greater geomagnetic storms are likely on 06-07 Nov due to multiple enhancements expected from a CH HSS and anticipated CME arrivals. B. NOAA Solar Radiation Activity Observation and Forecast Solar radiation, as observed by NOAA GOES-18 over the past 24 hours, was below S-scale storm level thresholds. Solar Radiation Storm Forecast for Nov 06-Nov 08 2025 Nov 06 Nov 07 Nov 08 S1 or greater 25% 25% 25% Rationale: There is a chance for the greater than 10 MeV proton flux reaching the S1 (Minor) threshold on 06-08 Nov due to the flare potential of Region 4274. C. NOAA Radio Blackout Activity and Forecast Radio blackouts reaching the R2 levels were observed over the past 24 hours. The largest was at Nov 05 2025 2207 UTC. Radio Blackout Forecast for Nov 06-Nov 08 2025 Nov 06 Nov 07 Nov 08 R1-R2 70% 70% 70% R3 or greater 25% 25% 25% Rationale: Probabilities have increased to 70% for R1-R2 (Minor-Moderate) and 25% for R3 (Strong) due to the continued activity and complex structure of Region 4274.

Northern lights and blurry full moon.

I got the moon and the northern lights. Amazing. Thanks to whoever posted first here. I was already in bed.

There is a full frickin moon and these northern lights are still super visible. Wow.
