On September 1st, 1859, a ferocious solar storm took place that impacted much of the planet. This ferocious solar storm is now known as the “Carrington Event”, named after the British astronomer, Richard Carrington, who witnessed the largest solar flare from his own private observatory which caused a major coronal mass ejection (CME) to travel directly toward Earth. Recent studies of solar storms have warned that these type of “Carrington Events” may not be quite as rare as once thought (e.g., Hayakawa et al). Many previous studies leaned heavily on Western Hemisphere accounts, omitting data from the Eastern Hemisphere. A super storm of the same magnitude as the “Carrington Event” in today’s world would very likely have a much more damaging impact than it did in the 19th century potentially causing widespread power outages along with disruptions to navigation, air travel, banking, and all forms of digital communication.

The comfortable and dry weather pattern that we’ve been experiencing in recent days will continue right through the upcoming Labor Day weekend and into the early part of next week. A cold front will cross our area this morning paving the way for another cooler-than-normal air mass to push into the Mid-Atlantic region and some outlying locations are likely to bottom out near 50 degrees during the next couple of nights. High pressure takes control of the weather for the weekend and this same system will hang around long enough to produce more comfortable, dry weather here during the first half of next week. Another cold frontal system will then enter the picture by the middle of next week representing the leading edge of yet another widespread cooler-than-normal air mass...this next cold front has a chance of bringing some beneficial rainfall to the area...we’ll see.
