Aurora watch issued by Australian Space Forecast Centre for next 24 hour period

An aurora watch was issued this morning at 9:35 am AEST / 10:35 am AEDT by the Australian Space Forecast Centre.

Text from the alert: ‘A Coronal Mass Ejection is expected to impact the Earth within the next 24 hours, possibly resulting in moderate space weather activity and visible auroras during local nighttime hours at Tasmania, possibly the coastline of Victoria and similar latitudes.’

This matches Spaceweather.com’s (Northern hemisphere based website) forecast of a 45% chance of an aurora in the next 24 hour period.
