Although the Sun has been quiet recently, a dark coronal hole is rotating into the Earth-strike zone. This means we have a good chance for a solar storm from some fast solar wind to hit us starting late on June 3 and continuing through June 5. We also have a snake-like filament that continues to tease us with the possibility of erupting over the next few days. If it does, this could intensity and lengthen the coming solar storm. We are watching this development closely. Learn the details of this coming solar storm, when to expect more aurora, and what the amateur radio conditions will be this week.

None of this would be possible without the hard work and dedication of those who have provided all of this data for public use.
Images c/o NASA/ESA/CSA (most notably the superb SDO, SOHO, ACE, STEREO, CCMC, JPL & DSN teams, amazing professionals, hobbyists, institutions, organizations, agencies and amateurs such as those at the USAF/HAARP, NICT, NOAA, USGS, Environment Canada, Natural Resources Canada, Intellicast, Catatania, rice.edu, wisc.edu, sonoma.edu ucalgary.ca, rssi.ru, ohio-state.edu, solen.info, and more. Thanks for making Space Weather part of our every day dialogue.
