Space Weather gets more exciting this week with a big coronal hole rotating into the Earth-strike zone in a few days. The region surrounding the coronal hole is also a bit unstable so multiple mini-eruptions have launched, which may be Earth directed as well. Together with the fast wind from the coronal hole this means we should get a good chance for more solar storming starting in the next few days. Expect amateur radio to have issues through the early part of the weekend with a good chance of aurora, especially at high latitudes. GPS/GNSS users should also be alert to issues during the storm and anywhere near active aurora.
