Look at plasma density spike at 15:00 on 26th. Quite clearly shows something may be due. Nearly 8 times the normal average.
A minor CME is en route to Earth, due to arrive on April 26th. NOAA forecasters estimate a 20% to 30% chance of geomagnetic storms.

Ok I dont know much about all this but I am trying to learn.
Went and had a look at the 3 day space weather forecast here:
www.swpc.noaa.gov...
Got this data for 25th 26th 27th:
# Probability of Geomagnetic conditions at High Latitudes
rob_High:
High/Active 15 10 15
High/Minor_Storm 25 25 25
High/Major-Severe_Storm 25 40 25
Does this mean there is a 40 % chance of Major-Severe_Storm?
