Serial Number: 251
Issue Time: 2015 Jan 21 1555 UTC

WARNING: Geomagnetic K-Index of 6 expected
Valid From: 2015 Jan 21 1600 UTC
Valid To: 2015 Jan 21 1900 UTC
Warning Condition: Onset
NOAA Scale: G2 - Moderate

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.


It seems that is is always cloudy here when these flair-ups occur.
