While overall flare probability remains moderate, AR4549 will be monitored closely for any further eruptive potential as it rotates across the solar disk.
At a forecasted Kp 4.67, auroral activity is likely to be confined to high latitudes.

Observers in northern Canada, Scandinavia, and high-latitude regions may see increased activity; visibility at mid-latitudes (40-60°N) remains unlikely but possible under perfect dark-sky conditions.
Monitor the geomagnetic index for a breach of the Kp 5 threshold, which would signify the onset of a full G1-class storm.
