July 3, 2014 Auroras

Grand Rapids, Minnesota

A couple weak transient (CME?) passages occurred during the day with the second one dropping Bz to around -6 nT and the solar wind speeds coming up to only about 360 km/s. Since the space weather had been quiet over the past couple days, it took a while to get any lights to appear. Overall, the show was rather minor, and I was glad not to stay out too late.
