Today was a bit of a jostling and uncomfortable day, where Solar Wind Speeds exceeded 500 km/sec and we were in and out of Geomagnetic Storms most of the day. I’ve uploaded charts in an earlier for those who more details on that. NOAA’s forecast […]

The CME arrived last night at 8.30p CDT. It wasn’t particularly impactful, slightly raising Solar Wind Speeds above 300 km/sec, and briefly raising Solar Wind Density above 10/cm3. The HP Index responded by averaging HP ~ 2.6 until 10.00a CDT this morning. After that we […]

Today was quite calm across all measures, except Electron Saturation started hovering around its Alert Threshold this morning after taking a dip into Moderate levels overnight. . It’s kinda starting to look like today’s expected CME might be a miss, but it could also be […]

A G1 geomagnetic storm watch is in effect as one and maybe two CMEs approach Earth. The first CME is almost a sure thing. It will probably deliver a glancing blow on Oct. 2nd. The second CME is less certain. It is faint and less […]

Briefly – 10/2 we’ve got a thin CME due in tomorrow around noon CDT that’s expected to raise Solar Wind Speeds into the 400 km/sec range and cause brief Geomagnetic Storms. 10/3 is expected to have Solar Wind Speeds holding in the 400 km/sec, without […]

It’s a bit unclear atm when the CME Sideswipe is expected to arrive, but most info currently indicates early afternoon on 10/2. I’ll post the chances for Geomagnetic Storms at our latitudes tomorrow. Connie Howell

Solar Wind Speed fell below 400 km/sec @ ~1.30p CDT today Electron Saturation’s been ~1K pfu since 9/26 @ 8.00a CDT Connie Howell

Things were pretty quiet in Space Weather today, with the exception of Solar Wind Speed dropping, but still above 400 km/sec and Electron Saturation gathering around its Alert Threshold. We only had B Class Solar Flares today because there are no noteworthy Sun Spots facing […]
