In response to the Saturday solar flare, NOAA has issued a “Strong” (G3) Geomagnetic Storm Watch for late Monday into early Tuesday. At G3, the northern lights can become visible across mid-latitudes of the United States.
Each event is unique and much depends on exact timing of impact. Bottom line, sky watchers highlighted below should be on alert for auroras both Sunday night and Monday night.

Please see the non-profit organization committed to making STANDARD TIME permanent HERE.
FWIW, I personally made a donation to the above organization, AND printed and mailed a letter to U. S. Rep. David Joyce and Senator J. D. Vance voicing my support for permanent Standard Time per President Trump’s support and vision.
