The following is from WWV via W3UR's The Daily DX:

"Auroral activity is expected to reach storm levels on 27 September
following the arrival of a series of coronal mass ejections that were
associated with a major and several minor solar flares over the last 
24 hours.  At least two or three disturbances are likely to impact the 
next 3 to 5 days.  This is expected to be one of the better 
opportunities to view auroral activity from the middle latitudes." 

Watch 160 carefully the next few days.  At the onset of flares, conditions
are sometimes enhanced greatly.  My station is under reconstruction and
I am QRL with my new fiance.  This will ENSURE fantastic conditions over
the coming weekend!
