SUBJ: SWS AURORA WATCH
ISSUED AT 0619 UT ON 14 Mar 2019 by Space Weather Services
FROM THE AUSTRALIAN SPACE FORECAST CENTRE

Effects of a coronal hole are expected to impact the Earth within the
next 24-36 hours, which could result in significant geomagnetic
activity and visible auroras during local nighttime hours for
southernmost locations (Tasmania, Southern VIC). Aurora alerts will
follow should elevated solar wind parameters (increased speed and
sustained southward Bz) eventuate.
