I guess these folks on spaceweather can't function without Nict being up. This is the report I just found AURORA WATCH: A CME expected to reach Earth on April 4th is overdue. The cloud might have missed or maybe it's running late. Mindful of a possible impact, NOAA forecasters estimate a 15% chance of polar geomagnetic storms on April 5th. Aurora alerts: text, phone.

After we got a K4 and two storms, a small one and one a bit larger, see my linkies above.
