Earth Directed CME...G2 Geomagnetic Storm Forecasted! a look at the Predcition Model from iSWA, as we already covered NOAAs...In this ENLIL Spiral, the Radial Velocity is Forecasted to be over 900 km/s, and will Arrive late on the 16 of March and into the 17th... Heres the Updated Official Alert/Warning for this Event: Space Weather Message Code: WATA30 Serial Number: 101 Issue Time: 2013 Mar 15 1712 UTC WATCH: Geomagnetic Storm Category G2 Predicted Highest Storm Level Predicted by Day: Mar 16: G1 (Minor) Mar 17: G2 (Moderate) Mar 18: None (Below G1) THIS SUPERSEDES ANY/ALL PRIOR WATCHES IN EFFECT Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 55 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude. Induced Currents - Power grid fluctuations can occur. High-latitude power systems may experience voltage alarms. Spacecraft - Satellite orientation irregularities may occur; increased drag on low Earth-orbit satellites is possible. Radio - HF (high frequency) radio propagation can fade at higher latitudes. Aurora - Aurora may be seen as low as New York to Wisconsin to Washington state.
