Good morning everyone and Happy Friday!
Same kind of deal for today... chilly and breezy with winds from the NW. Highs reaching the lower 50s under mostly sunny skies.
- Tropical Storm Francisco and his twin, Typhoon Lekima, should only really be a surge maker for the coastlines of Japan. No official landfall from either of them.
- Raymond is moving out to sea in the Eastern Pacific
- Cool air for the eastern half of the U.S. with many freeze warnings in place this morning.

- Western Europe dealing with another low bringing showers and storms
- Quiet for Australia; only light rain for South Island, New Zealand
- Space weather has stepped it up a notch with a major X1.7-flare from new sunspot 1882 on the far eastern limb of the sun. First since May! Because of the location, it is not Earth-directed. The sun has been crackling with M-class flares recently and not expecting the activity to die down soon.
- Barely any geomagnetic activity was observed yesterday but with the arrival of a few CMEs, this should change.
