I have a flare (-7) predicted at my house around sunrise on the 31st. Coincidentally, it is at the same time may daughter's bus comes to pick her up at school for her first day of 1st grade. (both predicted at 6:33, sunrise at 6:34). I'll be out with her watching. Bonus - predicted as a double flare. (with Iridium 20 - 25578). Weather looks poor.
