Geomagnetic Storm Warning
Post by De_Wildfire »
Space Weather Message Code: ALTK08
Serial Number: 37
Issue Time: 2024 May 11 0944 UTC
ALERT: Geomagnetic K-index of 8, 9-
Threshold Reached: 2024 May 11 0940 UTC
Synoptic Period: 0900-1200 UTC
Active Warning: Yes
NOAA Scale: G4 - Severe
NOAA Space Weather Scale descriptions can be found at
www.swpc.noaa.gov/noaa-scales-explanation
Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 45 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude.
Induced Currents - Possible widespread voltage control problems and some protective systems may mistakenly trip out key assets from the power grid. Induced pipeline currents intensify.
Spacecraft - Systems may experience surface charging; increased drag on low earth orbit satellites, and tracking and orientation problems may occur.
Navigation - Satellite navigation (GPS) degraded or inoperable for hours.
Radio - HF (high frequency) radio propagation sporadic or blacked out.
Aurora - Aurora may be seen as low as Alabama and northern California.

cb radio was un-effected but oddly the level of static was lower.

You're welcome. I think the bands are opening back up now but did manage to slip a few South American stations in the evening hours during the flares. They were weak. The static levels were high here during the mornings and afternoons. We didn't see the Northern Lights here due to the cloud cover.

I have been watching Tamitha Skov's YouTube for years, 90% of the time she gets her predictions right.

They are predicting a lot of fireworks from the sun in 2025.
