SUBJ: SWS AURORA WATCH
ISSUED AT 0154 UT ON 13 Nov 2016 by Space Weather Services
FROM THE AUSTRALIAN SPACE FORECAST CENTRE

Strong solar wind conditions at present due to a high speed solar wind
stream from a recurrent coronal hole. Dependent upon sustained
southward Bz occurrences and continued high solar wind speeds, this
may result in significant space weather activity and visible auroras
during local nighttime hours (where favourable viewing conditions
exist) for 13Nov. Aurora alerts will follow should favourable space
weather activity eventuate.
