A Coronal Hole, A Bright Region & A Red Planet | Space Weather News 09.21.2020
This Space Weather News forecast sponsored in part by Millersville University:

Space Weather makes us watch with bated breath this week as a big bright region rotates into earth-view from the Sun's farside. This region might be large enough to be a sunspot, but we will need to wait a few more days in order to tell. either way, the region is already beginning to boost solar flux into the low 70s so amateur radio operators and emergency responders should notice propagation improve on earth's dayside over the course of the week. We also have a coronal hole rotating into the Earth-strike zone that will send us some fast solar wind over the next few days. This should bring aurora views to high latitudes, but likely mid-latitude observers will only get a fleeting show. Learn the details of the coming fast wind and bright region, and catch up on the local weather at the Red Planet near the locations of our Martian colonists, Curiosity and Insight.
