G1 WATCH for 4 and 5 January, 2017

G1 Watch for 4-5 Jan due to CH HSS
G1 WATCH for 4 and 5 January, 2017
published: Thursday, January 05, 2017 21:45 UTC

A G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storm watch is in effect for 4 and 5 January, 2017. A recurrent, polar connected, negative polarity coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS) is anticipated to rotate into an Earth-influential position by 4 January. Elevated solar wind speeds and a disturbed interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) are forecast due to the CH HSS. These conditions are likely to produce isolated periods of G1 storming beginning late on 4 January and continuing into 5 January.
