Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 60 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude.
Induced Currents – Weak power grid fluctuations can occur.
Spacecraft – Minor impact on satellite operations possible.

*******
Aurora – Aurora may be visible at high latitudes, i.e., northern tier of the U.S. such as northern Michigan and Maine. ********

All of Alaska, most of Canada, and possible northern states. Kp 4 possible, maybe we’ll get lucky and see Kp 5. The time we will see lights is anytime it’s dark. Auroras come and go at times, so be patient if you don’t see anything right away. Many factors come into play before we see the lights, not just Kp level. Happy end of March!
