Yeah, that isn't a forecast. It is roughly how far south the aurora can be viewed with what Kp index value is reached. So currently the forecast would be somewhere between the Kp5 and Kp7 lines.

Gotchya. Yeah, I live in the Midwest, so I don't see an aurora unless its kp8-kp9.

Looks like its finally hitting Europe.  Kiruna magnetometer taking a sharp dive.  Looks rather weak so far however. Unfortunately. 

Except It's not even the CME.. Just the bz dipping south.

No, you can’t only look at density spikes. There has to be a corresponding jump in solar wind speed, IMF strength and direction and high temperature; followed by a sudden impulse ~50 minutes later by magnetometers. Plus EPAM didn’t peak yet either.

The solar wind speed and temperature also spiked at the same time the density did earlier today

Those few minor jumps aren’t the CME that’s for sure 😉 EPAM was too quiet and as long as EPAM didn’t peak it hasn’t arrived 😉
