A series of space weather warnings have been issued by NOAA, including a G2 moderate geomagnetic storm and a subsequent G3 or greater storm. The storms have impacted radio signal propagation and may lead to auroral activity in North America. Further forecasts suggest potential auroral shows on May 5-6.
Several big "hits" today from the sun. This one, centered over Asia, struck around 0623 UTC, affecting shortwave/HF signals. @TamithaSkov @CadiereGerald @drmna_info @PopShopRadio1 @kaedotcom https://t.co/WUN2QOwkoF
Stay tuned! Possible auroral show late May 05 and into early May 6. Those are UTC dates/times. For here in Metro Vancouver that's the afternoon of May 05 through till midnight and perhaps on until the early morning (peaking 8 PM - 1 AM). @steeletalk @bobmackin @RyanVoutilainen https://t.co/uTmKfWfm2p
A potent "sun burp" is expected to arrive somewhere in the vicinity of May 5-6. Should this timing prove accurate, auroras would be possible across the northern tier of the United States (G2 level). As always, these space weather forecasts are seldom perfect. Timing & storm… https://t.co/OvCM52LGX4
HamClock earlier this evening as the HF bands began to recover from the CME doldrums today. Chances for auroral action in Metro Vancouver are fading away. @RyanVoutilainen @ensembleator @KGordonGlobalBC https://t.co/WMFdcFkrR8
This afternoon's "biggie" from the sun, centered around 20:58 UTC, near 1 PM PDT. So much solar action the past 24 h or so. HF propagation effects very noticeable. Wonder if we might get some auroral action along the 49th parallel this evening? @bobmackin https://t.co/Vy6QaOIQS4

G3 (Strong) geomagnetic storms are expected to continue into the early hours of the 03 May UTC day. A G3 Warning is valid until 03/0300 UTC.
Gorgeous full disk false color Pacific shot from GOES-18 at 1 PM PDT. Received and processed with my own ground station here in Vancouver using @Nooelec gear along with a Raspberry Pi. @KGordonGlobalBC @ElijahBman @WestSeaWx @RandySmall @HowesNathan https://t.co/DkEpCwF3aD
An unexpected G3 storm is currently underway, the byproduct of a pair of "sun burps" reaching Earth. Obviously, this timing isn't great for aurora spotting as it's still middle of the day. There are signs (and my expectation) that this storm is in the process of subsiding. Still,… https://t.co/lPMsyyj8AK
Two! Centered around 1701 and 1733 UTC. G2 conditions met. Auroral action tonight in North America, at the lower latitudes? Maybe. Stay tuned. @MMadryga @WestSeaWx @RandySmall @HowesNathan @jwhittalTWN @bobmackin https://t.co/eM3PyqhUf2
Keeping an eye on the crazy space weather conditions and effects on radio signals propagation. @TamithaSkov @HowesNathan @RandySmall @CadiereGerald @drmna_info @kaedotcom @50ShadesofVan @WestSeaWx @bobmackin @KGordonGlobalBC @K3TripleR https://t.co/jXwxKdp5VE
Wild! G1 status (Kp 5.0). Bz at -17.8. HF signals propagation very poor from my location here in Vancouver. @TamithaSkov @KGordonGlobalBC @k6lcsclint @CadiereGerald @K3TripleR @eschecter @ZSsixSHN https://t.co/uB98s0cAq3
