Space Weather News for March 14, 2003
http://www.spaceweather.com

Earth has entered a solar wind stream flowing from a coronal hole on the
Sun.  Geomagnetic activity reached storm levels for a while on March 14th
when Earth first glided into the stream.  Conditions have since quieted,
but they could intensify again this weekend as solar wind gusts continue
to buffet our planet's magnetic field.  Sky watchers at high latitudes,
e.g., in northern Europe, Canada, Alaska and US states like Wisconsin or
Minnesota, should be alert for Northern Lights this weekend.  Visit
