Earth Has JUST Entered A Geomagnetic Storm! Two Strong Solar Pop Off July 3rd 2026!

James Kaufman, World News Report today. Ladies and gentlemen, we're currently in a geomagnetic storm caused by coronal mass ejection, and none of the KP indexes indicate it. I'm guessing that the next three-hour barter drop on each of them will, in fact, put us in a G1, perhaps even G2, geomagnetic storm. But again, we are currently in a geomagnetic storm, which has just started. We first saw it a few hours ago on our DSCOVR satellite and on our ACE satellite. They're a million miles above Earth, and it takes about 40 minutes for those type of events to reach Earth. So that would explain, well, why we're not seeing a geomagnetic storm on the KP index, although the next 3-hour barter drop, which should drop in about 1 hour at 4 central time, and that will be the telltale as far as the geomagnetic storm we're currently in. Let's get some more information. Now, we just had a really double-wicked M-flare, and there's probably earth components to it it's actually from two different sunspots the second one a sympathetic eruption from the first one these sunspots are highly connected i'm going to show y'all that event it is spectacular now's calling the first M-flare a 6.8 magnitude M-flare The second one, a 6.5 magnitude M flare. Some pretty good explosions and associated coronal mass ejections. It should, again, be affected toward Earth. Now, this is only the first of the two explosions. The second one came from here. This one would probably be most geo-effective towards Earth. The second one may be a little bit too far towards the limb, although that is where our geomagnetic connection to the sun is, that outgoing limb. It's hard to see. The other one happened so quickly, I can't believe they missed it, but we will show it to you. All right, head over to spaceweatherlive.com. We see those last two M flares, the 6.8 here peaked at 18.11, and the 6.5 here peaked at 18.59, and you can see it was one after another. Bam, bam. I wouldn't call this a sympathetic solar flare. We have another M flare down here. This was generated by 4479, as I indicated, and the second was generated by 4478, a little lower, closer to the limb. We had 4480 generated an M1.4. We'll show you all those. And we can see by the colors here, 4479 is a Delta-class sunspot still, whereas 4478 has become a little bit more simple and is a Beta-Gamma sunspot now. Now, an honorable mention down here an M1.2 was really late last night, right about 6.15, 6.12 Central Time last night. And we'll wait and see, but maybe the second flare will be more geo-effective towards Earth. 4479 looks like it's awful close to that outgoing limb. 4480 also appears to set in flare. It is very close to that outgoing limb, again, although that's where our geomagnetic connection to our sun is. 4478, well, that flare will most probably be geo-effective towards Earth. We have a new sunspot they just named, 4481. So there's a total of only four sunspots on the Earth facing side of our solar disk. All right, we have STL 193 angstroms. We will put Solar Ultraviolet Imager from GOES-19 in play. It's almost the same angstroms. I think 193 versus 194. Here we see that coral hole. I don't think it was too effective towards Earth. We see another coronal hole that's forming here that very well could be too effective towards Earth in a few days, or more than a few days, after it's pointed towards Earth. We see our three active sunspots here, and I guess that's the sunspot they named right there, although maybe they should take a look at this area as well. All right, over to our Space Weather Prediction Center from NOAA. Well, we haven't been hit by all this plasma quite yet. I think we have been hit by some plasma. They've changed it so many times. It's like a double impact of some sort. And actually, they've already come and probably gone. But we're going to take a look at the real data. This is just a forecast. Please note, in the forecast, it's a glancing blow. Well, that's not a glancing blow. So that is an incident of a glancing blow, and this will be a glancing blow that gets headed in for tomorrow. All right, taking a quick look at NOAA's KP Index cruise forecast breakdown from July 3rd today to July 5th. They have a storm hitting later, so it still might arrive. I said the next shoot or drop might be it. So they have it up to a G2 here. We're going into tomorrow in V2 as well. We haven't even seen a G1 yet, so we'll keep you apprised. But I do see it on Discover and Ace inbound, so I won't be surprised, I guess. And they're talking about a third CME over here. It's going to impact late on the 5th. And, of course, we did get both explosions for you. First one will come from here, and the second one will come from here. Let's take a look at what that looks like. That's number one, right there. And then number two, right there. I think we got it pretty good. You can see that there was a CME ejection emitted. The second one just doesn't look like it's going to be Earth-affected. Let's see if we can see anything from the first one. It's going to be questionable in the first one still. All these sunspots, all three of these are very active. active take one last look there's a good chance that that did create a CME first one the second definitely definitely expelled plasma over to our D region absorption prediction center i'm going to move this long enough to wait it's going to be the first of the two CMEs let's see not yet but here right over the u.s and the second of two CMEs right over the u.s again so we have the double bang bang lots of x-ray radiation out there folks i hope everyone's enjoying their friday afternoon so earth did pick up a lot of x-ray radiation from both those M-flares there's a very good chance it will see some of the plasma associated with those flares all right so i guess we really get impacted just slightly here just slightly now ACE doesn't look a thing like this uh within the last few minutes is really what i say the impact occurred you can see the temperature shoot up solar winds are pushed ahead plasma is pushed ahead and this is going to be the event here although that doesn't push us into uh solar weather plasma here it's not pushed until just now up to 17 18 uh 19 centimeters cubed and wind shot up to 570 kilometers per second with temperature shooting way up as well so that's the definite impact there these are the winds being pushed ahead of the plasma that started started hitting our satellite that's 1 million miles away takes about 40 minutes after well after you see this which is about 30 minutes old for it to get here but we won't see this might generate a G2 geomagnetic storm this might uh might be more powerful than we think it still seems to be rising this uh will be seen with our 4 p.m central Kp index bar so we'll know a lot more in just a few moments over to ACE also a million miles above earth right between earth and the Sun at the Lagrange Point 1 And, folks, it didn't match up here whatsoever. This is one centimeter cubed, and so the winds did move up But then I looked up and noticed that this chart is from yesterday It's been turned off for some reason. So that explained to me I had re-taped this because I just noticed I was bitching about never seen this run so far behind and i tried to refresh it for you guys and then i noticed that well it was the wrong date and here we are with our planetary lineup if you can call it one we've got the moon behind earth lined up with mercury sun well in between and then the biggest mass in our solar system jupiter on the far side so that could be causing a lot of geomagnetic activity and magnetics in our small solar system that said folks we are in a geomagnetic storm it hasn't shown itself on the kp index yet although i believe it will it'll drop about 4 10 about 10 minutes after four o'clock and uh well i'm sure it's going to be a g1 g2 and if anything crazy happens i'll get right back with you but it has hit the discovered satellite hard i would say hard it was up at 19 centimeters and rising the temperature was extremely hot the solar winds were almost up to 600 kilometers per second so we will expect that next part of drop to be well at least red god bless folks please share please subscribe and make sure to give us a thumbs up it's really important for these videos uh and lots of love to all you guys happy fourth of july we will be holding the um mount rushmore fireworks and drone show and Trump's speech, and I believe that starts at 7.30. We'll probably start a little bit earlier. 7.30 would be central time here in the U.S. God bless, folks. Hope to see you there.
