[STORMREPORTS] Geomagnetic Storming Commences Once Again
After a brief respite strong (Kp-7) to moderate (Kp-6) geomagnetic storming began at approximately 0000 UTC today. The
We also continue to see polar cap absorption of high latitude propagation path signals due to the ongoing elevated energetic proton event >10 Mev (10+o) that began on November 7, 2004.
We can also expect renewed geomagnetic storming on November 11, 2004 due to the arrival of a full halo coronal mass ejection, courtesy of a long duration C3 solar flare that occurred on November 8, 2004. This CME may be the least in a series.
In a few days the face of the Sun will become virtually spotless again and we can look forward to a return of normal space weather, geomagnetic and radio wave propagation conditions, albeit with the continuation of occasional Earth facing coronal hole induced minor geomagnetic storming. Unfortunately with fewer sunspots the daily solar flux level will fall back towards the 80's again with lower MUF's.

latest coronal mass ejection shock wave arrived at approximately 0900 UTC, courtesy of the X2 class solar flare that occurred
on November 7, 2004. Severe Kp-8 to extreme Kp-9 geomagnetic storming is possible. If and when the mid latitude K index reaches 9
we will want to watch for visible aurora as far south as 28 deg. N/S Latitude.

SIDC FORECAST (valid from 1230UT, 09 Nov 2004 until 11 Nov 2004)
SOLAR FLARES : Active (M-class flares expected, probability >= 50%)
GEOMAGNETISM : Severe geomagnetic storm expected (A>=100 or K>=7)
SOLAR PROTONS : Proton event in progress (>10 MeV)
PREDICTIONS FOR 09 Nov 2004 10CM FLUX: 120 / AP: 103

PREDICTIONS FOR 11 Nov 2004 10CM FLUX: 110 / AP: 073
shock is possibly the arrival of the halo CME accompanying the X2.0 flare. We
expect a severe geomagnetic storm. Late November 10, early November 11, we
expect again large disturbances of the geomagnetic field as consequence of the
full halo CME of November 8 coming out of the occulting disk of C3 at 05:42UT.
