Space Weather Update - Strong Solar Radiation Storm In Progress

• The ongoing Moderate Solar Radiation Storm has intensified to a Strong event. Activity should stay at this level for the next few hours, then likely take another jump ahead of a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) that is expected to occur overnight. This increase is not expected to exceed the S3 level. The CME is forecast to set off Strong Geomagnetic Storm activity through Friday. Watch for Auroras!
• Today: Not as cold. Partly sunny. Highs in the lower 20s. South winds 15 to 20 mph.
