    Conditions are expected to remain stable and quiet over the next 24 hours. The K-index will likely fluctuate between 1 and 2, keeping the geomagnetic environment well below storm thresholds.

    🌌 Aurora

    Aurora visibility is restricted to high-latitude polar regions.

    Mid-latitude observers should not expect any auroral activity during this period.

    👁 Watch for

    Monitor the development of Active Region AR4545 as it rotates into a more geoeffective position, given the 60% probability for C-class flare activity.
