Angry Regions Are Here Again: Solar Storm Forecast 04-20-2017
The Sun shows its angry face again as two regions that sent us 7 big flares just two weeks ago rotate back into Earth view. They have already fired off one near M-class flare and launched a non-Earth-directed solar storm. Amateur radio operators should expect possible radio blackouts on the dayside of Earth this week. GPS/GNSS operators should also expect issues near the dawn-dusk terminators. We also have 2 coronal holes sending us fast wind and that means storm conditions are great for aurora! Catch the details, learn when the storms are expected, and see what else the Sun has in store this week.
