Solar Storm Fizzle Suddenly Strengthens: Solar Storm Forecast Shortie 01-25-2018
Just as we thought this recent solar storm was going to fizzle out and give us nothing at mid-latitudes, we get a nice boost in strength. In addition, the Earth has crossed through what looks like a magnetic sector boundary, which has resulted in the solar wind magnetic field flipping mostly southward. This combination has boosted our chances of hitting storm levels. We are already experiencing active conditions. Thus ham radio might find auroral propagation pick up at night, especially on the 6 meter band! This short report gives you the details of this nice surprise gift!
