• G3 – Strong geomagnetic storm sparks auroras down to Texas

    A geomagnetic storm that began late on September 14, 2025, intensified to G3 – Strong levels early on September 15, producing auroras visible as far south as Texas. The storm was driven by a negative polarity coronal hole high-speed stream (CH HSS) with possible influence from a coronal mass ejection (CME) launched on September 11.

  • G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm watch issued for September 14

    A G1 – Minor Geomagnetic Storm Watch was issued by NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center for September 14, 2025, anticipating weak power grid fluctuations, minor satellite impacts, and possible auroras at high latitudes. No storm activity is forecast for September 15 and 16.

  • CME impact and high-speed stream forecast to enhance geomagnetic activity through September 8

    A large filament eruption was observed at 19:45 UTC on September 4, 2025, followed by at least three CMEs. Model runs suggest a likely arrival early on September 7. In addition, a recurrent positive polarity coronal hole high-speed stream (CH HSS) activity is expected to enhance solar wind parameters beginning early September 6, with G1 – Minor to G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm conditions likely through September 8.

  • Prominence eruption produces large CME off southeast limb

    A large coronal mass ejection (CME) was produced by a prominence eruption off the Sun’s southeast limb at 04:30 UTC on August 20, 2025. The CME is not Earth-directed, and solar activity is forecast to remain at very low to low levels, with a slight chance for M-class flares in the coming days.
