Unusual Solar Geomagnetic Storm Warning.?

NOAA forecasters estimate a 60% chance of G2-class geomagnetic storms on April 2nd when a CIR is expected to hit Earth's magnetic field.

CIRs (co-rotating interaction regions) are transition zones between fast- and slow-moving solar wind streams.

Density gradients and shock waves inside CIRs often do a good job sparking auroras.

60% chance of a moderate storm not to bad.

G2 storms occur approximately 600 times per 11 years (1 solar cycle);
