Texas StormChasers saying that tonight will be better than last night. I'll be awake tonight.
Spaceweather is saying the expected CME has hit and it is too weak to re-spark auroras to the level we saw last night. They have lowered their forecast to a G2/G3 storm. Last night was a strong G4.
Do they say how far south they might be seen or is that just a complete crapshoot with where you are and light pollution?
Mostly a function of latitude, but a G2/G3 won't make it far south of the Canadian border if at all. The G2/G3 works out to a Kp of around 6-7. The map on this page (https://www.spaceweather.com/glossary/kp.html) gives a loose idea of where auroras might be visible with those Kp levels, although last night peaked at Kp 8.67 and were seen much further south than shown on that map.
