SUBJ: IPS AURORA WATCH
ISSUED AT 0100 UT ON 22 Jan 2014 BY IPS RADIO AND SPACE SERVICES
FROM THE AUSTRALIAN SPACE FORECAST CENTRE

A Coronal Mass Ejection is currently predicted to arrive at Earth
during 23 January UT. The bulk of the CME is not Earthward directed
but a glancing blow may lead to a minor geomagnetic storm. Modest
auroras may become visible from the southern coast of Tasmania on the
evening of 23 Jan (assuming the CME arrives as predicted). Aurora
alerts will follow should favourable space weather activity
eventuate.
