Sun has Earth in its' crosshairs this week! We've had no less than three 
solar storms to contend with all in the past few days. The first solar 
storm was launched by region 2925 back on January 14 and was supposed to 
hit yesterday, but it missed Earth, thanks to the fast solar wind from 
the large coronal hole passing through the Earth-strike zone now. Likely 
that fast wind stream deflected the solar storm to the west of Earth. 
But no matter, the fast wind has been sporadically bumping us to storm 
levels off and on over the past couple days. We even reached G2-level 
conditions for about three hours right around the 15th, but don't be 
fooled, as these conditions were more bark than bite. Even aurora 
chasers had a difficult time catching much more than a glimpse of aurora 
at mid-latitudes. Still this storm will keep us on our toes over the 
next couple days, plus we have yet another solar storm on the way. This 
one was launched by region 2929 in the north. This new solar storm has a 
better chance of hitting Earth than the previous one did, but it still 
could be a glancing blow around the 20th. In addition, we have no less 
than seven active regions on the Earth-facing Sun, which is keeping 
solar flux boosted into the triple digits and allowing decent radio 
propagation on Earth's dayside. Big flares and radio blackouts are a 
slight risk now, but it is not too bad for GPS reception overall. Learn 
the details surrounding all of this activity and see what else our Sun 
has in store. Want early access to these forecasts, tutorials on Space
