[AZ-Observing] Re: Probable aurorae tonight

Your assessment is similar to the AstroAlert, parts of which I posted 
earlier today. I should have quoted more of it because it went on 
further to say:

"    The activity should be similar to what was observed on 29 October.
Auroras across North America were observed into the extreme southern
United States (sightings as far south as Arizona and similarly located
latitudes) during the initial hours of the disturbance. Europe will be best
positioned to observe effects perhaps similar to what North America observed
on 29 October (where activity was observed into the far south). If the
disturbance does not arrive much later than predicted, southern regions of
Australia may also be greeted by a pre-dawn aurora."

Thus, I already knew there was a good chance of it reaching into Arizona and 
was planning for it. This is the Sky & Telescope AstroAlert which I am sure 
many on this list probably are already subscribed to. If you are not, find out 
about it from the S&T website.
