Our Sun continues to remain a bit on the quiet side, with only a glancing solar storm launched towards Earth this week. Region 3423 is the region to watch and it is showing some signs of growth, but it has yet to fire any flares larger than an R1 radio blackout level. We do have several coronal holes sending us pockets of fast solar wind that could bring aurora to high latitudes over the next few days. The glancing solar storm passage may enhance these pockets of fast wind enough to bring sporadic aurora down to mid-latitudes in short bursts, but any shows are expected to be fleeting. Aurora photographers may find the lack of a bright moon quite helpful if they decide to chase aurora. Amateur radio operators and GPS users should enjoy a break from big radio blackouts on Earth's dayside and mild conditions on Earth's nightside. Learn the details of the coming fast solar wind, see how it might be enhanced, and find out what else our Sun has in store this week.
