The sun is quite active at this time, and you’ll likely hear news reports of this storming. For better understanding, here are some links to NOAA and USAF space weather sites. The Air Force and NOAA share similar capabilities but present them differently, each according to the needs of their users.

NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center: http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/
SWPC and Johns Hopkins auroral forecast (test): http://helios.swpc.noaa.gov/ovation/
NOAA Space Weather Scales (including impacts and frequency of occurrence): http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/NOAAscales/ (NOAA Scales table in Adobe .pdf format)
The NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center maintains a Facebook page that is currently an experimental effort. It often includes highlights explained in a user-friendly discussion: http://www.facebook.com/pages/NOAA-N...32532740131296

Air Force Weather Agency (AFWA) Space Weather Page: https://weather.afwa.af.mil/jaawin/space/main.jsp (Requires CAC and may require registration. Note: many of the data linked from this site are rather arcane and require significant background for understanding.)
Global Situational Awareness: https://weather.afwa.af.mil/static/s...es/E&IMap.html

http://www.spaceweather.com is another good link.

If you are working in the HF range there is some good information that can be derived from the superDARN site (http://vt.superdarn.org/tiki-index.php)
