Solar Storms, Fast Wind, and Flare Risk Rises | Space Weather Spotlight 26 October 2023
This Space Weather News forecast sponsored in part by Millersville University:

This week, our Sun launches some gorgeous eye-candy along with several wispy Earth-directed solar storms. The first of these storms is hitting Earth now and is enhancing some fast solar wind. Aurora photographers at high latitudes will definitely get a show, while there is a slight chance for aurora at mid-latitudes as well. This will also be the case as we approach Halloween, when the second solar storm will hit, followed by a fast wind chaser. Solar flare activity remains low, but new regions will be rotating into view over the next few days. Amateur radio operators should expect low noise on the bands for now, with more noise and risk for radio blackouts to increase into next week. GPS users should expect pretty decent reception over the next couple of days, except anywhere near aurora on the nightside. Learn the details of the wispy solar storms, and see what else is in the spotlight this week.
