The first of two chances for aurora is upon us now as the first of two coronal holes we will encounter this week has rotated into the Earth-strike zone. Aurora photographers should be thrilled, as we have multiple chances for light shows at high latitudes and a good possibility for brief aurora down to mid-latitudes. Radio propagation remains poor due to the spotless Sun, but active regions on the Sun's backside hint that a reprieve may be coming in about two weeks. Learn the details of the two expected solar storms from fast solar wind, catch up on more aurora photos from the recent monster solar storm just a week ago, and see why dayside GPS reception should be great this week.

For a more in-depth look at the data in this forecast see my previous videos. I need to save space for the links to the aurora field reporter pictures featured in this video.

None of this would be possible without the hard work and dedication of those who have provided all of this data for public use.
