G1 geomagnetic storm conditions
published: Saturday, December 12, 2015 12:41 UTC UTC

A positive polarity coronal hole high speed stream, reaching upwards of 600 km/s, arrived at Earth as forecast. The increased wind speeds combined with a disturbed solar wind environment were enough to enhance the geomagnetic field to G1-Minor storm conditions. G-1 conditions are expected to occur periodically though out the day today as well as into tomorrow (11 Dec). 

Stay tuned here for updates.
