                            GEOMAGNETIC STORM ALERT

                       /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

                          Issued:  18:30 UT, 04 April

                            Geomagnetic Storm Alert
                             Auroral Storm Warning

                                 -------------


ATTENTION:

     A sudden storm commencement (SSC) was observed at magnetic observatories
at 11:23 UT on 04 April.  This was immediately followed by a period of major
geomagnetic and auroral storming for about two hours, which then declined to
minor storm levels thereafter.  Presently, the magnetic field is holding at
very active to minor storm levels.

     A GEOMAGNETIC STORM ALERT has been issued.  This storm has been caused
by the major class M6/2B flare which occurred at 23:27 UT on 02 April.  An
AURORAL ACTIVITY ALERT has been issued for the middle and high latitudes for
04 and 05 April.  Activity (auroral and geomagnetic) should diminish on 06
April.  Since the moon does not rise until the early morning hours, there
should be a good auroral display of activity over middle and high latitudes.
Please send any reports of auroral activity, HF or VHF degradation and/or
other observations or anomalies to: oler@hg.uleth.ca.

     This storm should subside and end on 06 April.  A return to active to
unsettled geomagnetic conditions is expected thereafter.
