The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center forecasted a “severe solar storm” that’s expected to hit Earth tonight, according to a release. These geomagnetic storms happen every so often, but as the Sun approaches the maximum of its 11-year solar cycle, the space weather is getting more intense.
What the heck does tonight mean …
You know, tonight, that specific time of day that happens at the same time every day depending on where you are and what season it is there.
Yeah I was also quite annoyed by that.
Given the statement was by the US organization NOAA they probably mean night in North America.
From following a couple links to the source, I found this:

So we’re just past midnight UTC as of right now, so any time I guess!
