TL;DR

An incoming coronal mass ejection could hit Earth's magnetic field today, possibly triggering geomagnetic storms from G1 to G3 and boosting auroras into mid-latitudes across the northern U.S.; the strongest activity is expected 11 a.m.–2 p.m. EDT, with elevated chances into the evening, and auroras could be visible as far south as northern Michigan, Maine, New York, Idaho, Illinois, and Oregon depending on conditions. NOAA has issued a G3 watch for June 8 and a G2 watch for June 9.
