ISSUED AT 0301 UT ON 15 May 2017 by Space Weather Services

Effects of a coronal hole are expected to impact the Earth within the
next 12-48 hours, which may result in significant geomagnetic activity
and visible auroras during local nighttime hours (should favourable
viewing conditions exist). Aurora alerts will follow if significant
geomagnetic activity actually occurs.
