Year's First X-Class Flare Causes N.A. HF Blackout
An X1.7 X-ray flare was observed at 1840Z from Region 1402. A warning has been issued for a S1 solar radiation storm. This warning is in effect for the next 24 hours.

Region 1402 is close to the limb, and CME (if any) should not be geoeffective.
This flare caused an R3 level radio blackout over North America,
Auroral Event In Progress
Check out the photos of incredible aurora at high geomagnetic latitudes at this Daily Mail photo story.
The past two Kp indices have been 3, below the storm threshold. As the news story notes, this was not a severe storm. While energetic particles are traveling at a high velocity, most are missing the Earth. HF propagation will not take a major hit from this one, although some signals from
Planetary K Index Now = 5
We have crossed the minor storm threshold. Expect degradation of high-latitude paths, and perhaps a nice auroral show tonight in the northern US.
