Full Sky Alberta Aurora Possible, July 2

Cause: Anticipated arrival of Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) from June 30

CME arrival from the event on 30 Jun is expected to bring G2 (moderate) geomagnetic storm conditions beginning on 03 July. As mentioned above, there is some uncertainty on the timing that an arrival mid to late on 02 July cannot be ruled out. Conditions are expected to be at quiet to active levels before the CME arrives. Conditions are expected to decrease to minor storm levels by 04 July.
