March 16, 2015 - Space Weather Alerts, Top Headlines

Good morning folks. Below is an updated look at the visible solar disk on Monday. Solar activity during the past 24 hours was moderate. Region 2297 produced a couple of low level M-Flares, including an M1.6 at 10:58 UTC (March 16). Despite being in a gradual state of decay, the active region will remain a threat for C-Flares and perhaps additional isolated M-Flares. A new sunspot is turning into view off the northeast limb and we will get a better look at it during the next 24 hours. No Earth directed coronal mass ejections were observed during the past day. Solar wind speeds increased to just above 400 km/s and the Bz component of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) has been pointing mostly north on Monday morning. Proton levels streaming past our planet reached to near minor (S1) radiation storm levels. A coronal mass ejection (CME) observed this past weekend could deliver a glancing blow to our geomagnetic field within 48 hours. Sky watchers at high latitudes should remain alert for visual aurora displays.
