Last night, a severe geomagnetic storm painted magnificent colors of the northern lights across a starry canvas over North America.

INCREDIBLE!!!! 😍 Perks of working at night and being able to walk outside and take it all in! @TracyButlerABC7 @DIvory_WGN

Whoahh! Look at her go now 😍

I grew up in the Midwest for over 20 years and I can honestly say I've never seen a scene quite like this in Michigan City, Indiana. I've seen foliage at higher elevation but never have I seen peak foliage which such a high impacting Lake Effect snow event. Truly otherworldly.

This is beyond cool. Heavy lake effect band has pivoted to Chicago. It's going to work its way through possibly as far south is deep into Will county. The models were all over the this week with some saying snow some saying none. But most of them showed this by Thursday.

This is incredible. Stay safe and set the alarm early tomorrow

Personally never seen something quite like this…but does appear the radar beam height detecting this feature is around 3 km… Pretty sharp change in wind direction there and although subtle in the sounding, appears to mark the top of the purely lake-induced boundary layer

BREAKING: Episode 36 of Kilauea’s ongoing eruption has begun 💃

Here we go. ❄️

Brutal driving conditions on the Indiana turnpike near South Bend #INwx

Extreme conditions right now on State Route 49 in Valparaíso, Indiana. Would not advise traveling at the moment. @WxWiseApp

A special guest crashed Demetrius Ivory's forecast during WGN News at 9!

Is it a ripple or something standing by itself?

If anyone along the far north approach path to #OHare thinks you just heard a loud military jet, you did Not sure what it was, as this is all that came up on the ADS-B

Alrighty, ready to see something really cool? The evolution of Hurricane Melissa's mesovortices at peak strength.

A 3D satellite depiction of #Hurricane #Melissa as it crossed #Jamaica. 😳

UNBELIEVABLE. ADT estimates put #MELISSA at T8.3 — one of the highest ever observed in the Atlantic. Satellite presentations don’t get much better than this in the Atlantic. We’re witnessing history on satellite right now. MELISSA likely nearing/at Category 5 status.

Goodness gracious… Melissa is undergoing ultra-rapid intensification, and is soon to fully wrap intense convection around a nascent eye on infrared. It could be a Category 4 shortly after midnight.

Another view of the damaging tornado that hit Ermont, in the northern suburbs of Paris, France today 🌪️👀 https://t.co/SY8tXQXVr2
