Early Sunday morning, G4 geomagnetic storm conditions had been reached. Such strong conditions have been known to bring the northern lights as far south as Alabama and northern California. However, any auroral activity is outshone by the sun during the daylight hours.

In general, about 1 to 2 inches of rain is expected, with less north of the mountains and in northern Maine. In the highest elevations of northern New Hampshire and western Maine, there will be wet snow that can accumulate. We'll have slow improvement this weekend, but Sunday and Monday look brighter and drier.
