    While M-class flare probability remains at 50%, no immediate impacts to satellite or power grid infrastructure are anticipated.

    🌌 Aurora

    Aurora visibility is restricted to high-latitude polar regions.

    more

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

    👁 Watch for

    Monitor the magnetic complexity of AR4493 and AR4494, as their configurations suggest a 50% probability for M-class flare activity in the coming day.
