Aurora Forecast for Wednesday, March 9, 2011
| Name of forecaster: Charles Deehr
Time of prediction: 3/8/2011 9:45:00 AM* |
| Forecast: Auroral activity will be active. Weather permitting, active auroral displays will be visible overhead from Barrow to Anchorage and Juneau, and visible low on the horizon from King Salmon, Prince Rupert, Bismark and Montreal. |
| Additional Forecaster comments: There were two "M-class" events on the sun on the 7th of March. We estimate that the effects of these events will reach Earth on the 9th and 10th of March. This should produce magnetic activity leading to Kp=4. This corresponds to our auroral index = 4. Check the forecast page maps appropriate to your area to see if the aurora would be visible to you. Then watch the short term forecast to know when to go out and look for the aurora. |
