Solar Storm Headed For Earth Today, May Trigger Auroras In US: Report

While the impact is not going to be a major one, together the CMEs can lead to geomagnetic storms, the report added.

A solar storm is expected to hit Earth today, September 3. As per a report by Spaceweather.com, two coronal mass ejections (CME) are expected to make an impact on the Earth's atmosphere.

“One CME is definitely heading for Earth, and there might be two. The first CME left the sun on August 30 following a "canyon of fire" magnetic filament eruption. Although the CME is faint, there is no question it is heading our way. The second CME is less certain to hit Earth but more potent,” the report stated.
