GEOMAGNETIC STORM WATCH--CANCELED: A CME expected to graze Earth's magnetic field on Jan. 2nd has either missed or it is approaching more slowly than expected. Either way, a geomagnetic storm is now unlikely. The CME was hurled into space by the strongest solar flare of Solar Cycle 25, an X5-class explosion on New Year's Eve. If Earth had been directly in the line of fire, we might now be experiencing strong-to-severe geomagnetic storms.
