Aurora Forecast Update for 2026-01-19T19:50:03Z

ALERT: Geomagnetic K-index of 8, 9-
Threshold Reached: 2026 Jan 19 1938 UTC
Synoptic Period: 1800-2100 UTC

Active Warning: Yes
NOAA Scale: G4 - Severe
Additional Details Here.
Space Weather Message Code: ALTK08 Serial Number: 55 Issue Time: 2026 Jan 19 1943 UTC ALERT: Geomagnetic K-index of 8, 9- Threshold Reached: 2026 Jan 19 1938 UTC Synoptic Period: 1800-2100 UTC Active Warning: Yes NOAA Scale: G4 - Severe Comment: Currently at a Kp8- 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. :Product: 3-Day Forecast :Issued: 2026 Jan 19 1230 UTC # Prepared by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, Space Weather Prediction Center # A. NOAA Geomagnetic Activity Observation and Forecast The greatest observed 3 hr Kp over the past 24 hours was 4 (below NOAA Scale levels). The greatest expected 3 hr Kp for Jan 19-Jan 21 2026 is 8.00 (NOAA Scale G4). NOAA Kp index breakdown Jan 19-Jan 21 2026 Jan 19 Jan 20 Jan 21 00-03UT 3.33 5.00 (G1) 4.33 03-06UT 1.67 5.67 (G2) 4.67 (G1) 06-09UT 0.67 8.00 (G4) 4.00 09-12UT 1.00 5.67 (G2) 3.00 12-15UT 3.33 6.67 (G3) 2.33 15-18UT 3.33 6.00 (G2) 2.67 18-21UT 3.00 5.33 (G1) 2.00 21-00UT 4.33 5.00 (G1) 3.00 Rationale: G3-G4 (Strong-Severe) geomagnetic storms are likely on early on 20 Jan due to the anticipated arrival of a halo CME that left the Sun on 18 Jan. B. NOAA Solar Radiation Activity Observation and Forecast Solar radiation, as observed by NOAA GOES-18 over the past 24 hours, was above S-scale storm level thresholds. Solar Radiation Storm Forecast for Jan 19-Jan 21 2026 Jan 19 Jan 20 Jan 21 S1 or greater 99% 95% 65% Rationale: S1-S3 (Minor-Strong) solar radiation storms are expected to continue through at least 20 Jan. With S1 (Minor) conditions likely on 21 Jan due to influence from an approaching CME. C. NOAA Radio Blackout Activity and Forecast Radio blackouts reaching the R3 levels were observed over the past 24 hours. The largest was at Jan 18 2026 1809 UTC. Radio Blackout Forecast for Jan 19-Jan 21 2026 Jan 19 Jan 20 Jan 21 R1-R2 65% 65% 65% R3 or greater 20% 20% 20% Rationale: R1-R2 (Minor-Moderate) radio blackouts are likely, with a slight chance for R3 (Strong), over 19-21 Jan due primarily to the flare potential from Region 4341.
