Wind Advisories have been issued for gusty conditions due to a powerful system with a low centered in Southeast Canada. Gusts could reach as high as 50 mph. Also, some light showers in the area this morning with a few downpours possible later. The winds and showers gradually subside into the evening making for a wonderful and mild Saturday after the front passes with less wind.

- Took two strong earthquakes yesterday: first a 6.3 in Taiwan and then a 6.6 in Chile. (Taiwan earthquake: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/usc000ksdy#summary, Chile earthquake: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/usb000kqnc#summary)
- Solar wind ramped up to around 500 km/s yesterday from an incoming CME but was not strong enough to produce a geomagnetic storm. Sunspots are turning more equatorial and 1884 in the middle have the energy for a moderate to strong flare. Also, a coronal hole stream may impact Earth early next week. M-class flare chances in the next 24 hours: 40%. X-class flare chances in the next 24 hours: 5%.
