This is a reissue of the previous watch to correct an internal system error.NOAA Space Weather Scale descriptions can be found atwww.swpc.noaa.gov/noaa-scales-explanationPotential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 55 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude.Induced Currents - Power grid fluctuations can occur. High-latitude power systems may experience voltage alarms.Spacecraft - Satellite orientation irregularities may occur; increased drag on low Earth-orbit satellites is possible.Radio - HF (high frequency) radio propagation can fade at higher latitudes.Aurora - Aurora may be seen as low as New York to Wisconsin to Washington state.

This can be indicative of significant radio noise in association with a solar flare. This noise is generally short-lived but can cause interference for sensitive receivers including radar, GPS, and satellite communications.
