Weather Service stops receiving satellite data, issues notice about forecast quality

WaPo reporting satellite outages this AM here.

SO reported earlier this week a BIG sunspot group coming around the sun's leading edge here, and associated massive solar flaring off the edge  at that time (see video at link, pretty amazing).

(I have been watching this off and on for probably over a year and this is by far the largest I've seen headed our way, see picture below from a few days ago...)

So this formation could be earth facing today and the EM effects could be the cause of these satellite outages, I hope they are just temporary.

SO is probably monitoring this event and will probably report at the youtube channel here, you have to check back.

Looks like libertarian Ann Coulter (who Mike kicked off his show the one time, LOL!)  is blaming the Obama Administration or the government, go figure (check out the reply tweets over there for a good laugh at the libertarians!):
