Earth-Directed Storms Come & Big Flare Players Enter | Solar Storm Forecast 11 September 2024

This Space Weather News forecast sponsored in part by Millersville University:
https://www.millersville.edu/swen
Our Sun launched two Earth-directed solar storms towards Earth this week, with the first one hitting us just now (it is fashionably late). The second will likely hit late on September 12 and be followed by some fast solar wind. This means aurora photographers could be in for an extended show from about now till possibly September 13. In addition, several big-flare and big solar storm producing regions are beginning to rotate into Earth view. Amateur radio operators and GPS users should expect increasingly difficult conditions for radio propagation over this coming week, especially while the ongoing mild radiation storm continues to impact high-latitude regions. Radio operators and GPS users should expect issues on Earth's dayside over this week (and possibly next) with the worst impacts at the poles calming down by September 14. Of course, UAV pilots should stay vigilant, especially on Earth's nightside near aurora and during dawn and dusk. Learn the details of the coming solar storms, see what is on the farside of the Sun and find out what else our Sun has in store.
