MIDDLE LATITUDE AURORAL ACTIVITY WARNING
Potential magnitude of middle latitude auroral activity: MODERATE TO HIGH
Overall opportunity for observations from middle latitudes: FAIR TO GOOD
Expected lunar interference: HIGH
Auroral activity has intensified following the arrival of a moderately
strong coronal mass ejection. Activity is being observed into the northern
United States. There is a chance for periods of moderately strong
mid-latitude auroral activity during the next 72 hours. Tonight will be a
fair chance to spot activity, although the full moon will significantly
dampen the display. On the 8th and 9th, additional activity may be
observed if effects from recent major solar flaring are observed. Larger
auroral storms will be possible throughout the next 7 to 10 days as the
active sunspot complex rotates into a more favorable position for
producing Earth-bound impacts. Note: This
watch will remain valid through 23:00 UTC on March 9.
