MIDDLE LATITUDE AURORAL ACTIVITY WATCH
POTENTIAL MAGNITUDE OF MIDDLE LATITUDE AURORAL
ACTIVITY: MODERATE
OVERALL OPPORTUNITY FOR OBSERVATIONS FROM MIDDLE LATITUDES:
FAIR TO GOOD
EXPECTED LUNAR INTERFERENCE:
HIGH
A recurrent coronal hole disturbance is impacting the Earth. Periods of
auroral activity will be possible over the high and upper-middle latitude
regions during the next 24 hours. Commencing on December 8 and lasting
through perhaps December 10 (possibly through much of next week), coronal
mass ejections from recent energetic solar activity will begin affecting
auroral activity. At the present time, no significant auroral storming is
anticipated. By December 10, the sunspot complex responsible for this
activity will be well positioned for producing stronger Earth-bound impacts.
Much stronger auroral storming into next week will be possible if this active
region remains volatile.
Note: This
watch will remain valid through 24:00 UTC on December 11.
