Solar Wind / Aurora Watch (April 30)

[Ilie Pandia]

The solar wind increased on Friday evening and combined with a south tilting Bz it did stir up minor aurora conditions at very high latitudes. Currently the Coronal Hole solar wind stream is blowing past 600 km/s. If you are very high in latitude, be on the lookout for aurora. +++Multiple C-Class flares have taken place on Saturday morning around Sunspot 1199. There will continue to be a chance for C-Class activity around both Sunspots 1199 and 1195 which are rotating towards the western limb.
