Aurora Forecast Update for 2025-11-12T13:00:06Z

ALERT: Geomagnetic K-index of 5
Threshold Reached: 2025 Nov 12 1240 UTC
Synoptic Period: 1200-1500 UTC

Active Warning: Yes
NOAA Scale: G1 - Minor
Additional Details Here.
Space Weather Message Code: ALTK05 Serial Number: 1907 Issue Time: 2025 Nov 12 1251 UTC ALERT: Geomagnetic K-index of 5 Threshold Reached: 2025 Nov 12 1240 UTC Synoptic Period: 1200-1500 UTC Active Warning: Yes NOAA Scale: G1 - Minor NOAA Space Weather Scale descriptions can be found at www.swpc.noaa.gov/noaa-scales-explanation Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 60 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude. Induced Currents - Weak power grid fluctuations can occur. Spacecraft - Minor impact on satellite operations possible. Aurora - Aurora may be visible at high latitudes, i.e., northern tier of the U.S. such as northern Michigan and Maine. :Product: 3-Day Forecast :Issued: 2025 Nov 12 1230 UTC # Prepared by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, Space Weather Prediction Center # A. NOAA Geomagnetic Activity Observation and Forecast The greatest observed 3 hr Kp over the past 24 hours was 8.67 (NOAA Scale G4). The greatest expected 3 hr Kp for Nov 12-Nov 14 2025 is 8.67 (NOAA Scale G4). NOAA Kp index breakdown Nov 12-Nov 14 2025 Nov 12 Nov 13 Nov 14 00-03UT 8.67 (G4) 6.67 (G3) 4.67 (G1) 03-06UT 8.33 (G4) 6.33 (G2) 4.00 06-09UT 7.00 (G3) 6.00 (G2) 3.33 09-12UT 7.00 (G3) 4.67 (G1) 3.67 12-15UT 6.00 (G2) 4.00 3.33 15-18UT 5.67 (G2) 3.33 3.00 18-21UT 7.67 (G4) 4.33 3.00 21-00UT 6.00 (G2) 4.67 (G1) 3.33 Rationale: Up to G4 (Severe) geomagnetic storms are expected on 12 Nov due to CME influences. G3 (Strong) geomagnetic storms are likely on 13 Nov and G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storms are likely on 14 Nov due to CME effects. B. NOAA Solar Radiation Activity Observation and Forecast Solar radiation, as observed by NOAA GOES-18 over the past 24 hours, was above S-scale storm level thresholds. Solar Radiation Storm Forecast for Nov 12-Nov 14 2025 Nov 12 Nov 13 Nov 14 S1 or greater 99% 75% 55% Rationale: S1-S2 (Minor to Moderate) or greater solar radiation storms are expected over 12-14 Nov. C. NOAA Radio Blackout Activity and Forecast No radio blackouts were observed over the past 24 hours. Radio Blackout Forecast for Nov 12-Nov 14 2025 Nov 12 Nov 13 Nov 14 R1-R2 80% 80% 80% R3 or greater 55% 55% 55% Rationale: R1-R2 (Minor-Moderate) radio blackouts are expected and R3 (Strong) radio blackouts are likely over 12-14 Nov.

If the weather cooperates, good possibility of seeing it again tonight (locally). 11/12
“With the impending arrival of the 11 Nov CME later today, elevated geomagnetic storm levels is likely to carry over into 14 Nov (UTC day).”

Eating too much cake is the sin of gluttony.
But eating to much pie is okay, because the sin of PI is zero 😁😁😁
