Space Weather Message Code: ALTK08 Serial Number: 18
Issue Time: 2015 Mar 17 1401 UTC
ALERT: 
Geomagnetic K-index of 8
Threshold Reached: 2015 Mar 17 1358 UTC Synoptic Period: 1200-1500 UTC

NOAA Scale: G4 - Severe
NOAA Space Weather Scale descriptions can be found at www.swpc.noaa.gov/noaa-scales-explanation

Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 45 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude. Induced Currents - Possible widespread voltage control problems and some protective systems may mistakenly trip out key assets from the power grid. Induced pipeline currents intensify. Spacecraft - Systems may experience surface charging; increased drag on low earth orbit satellites, and tracking and orientation problems may occur. Navigation - Satellite navigation (GPS) degraded or inoperable for hours. Radio - HF (high frequency) radio propagation sporadic or blacked out. Aurora - Aurora may be seen as low as Alabama and northern California.
