SUBJ: SWS AURORA WATCH
ISSUED AT 0557 UT ON 24 Oct 2017 by Space Weather Services
FROM THE AUSTRALIAN SPACE FORECAST CENTRE

Effects of a coronal hole are expected to impact the Earth over the
next 24-48 hours. This may result in significant geomagnetic activity
and aurora sightings from southernmost Australian regions should
elevated solar wind speeds, sustained southward Bz and favourable
viewing conditions eventuate. Aurora alerts will follow if significant
geomagnetic activity actually occurs.
