It is expected to be a rather weak one.
Researchers recently spotted a 'hole' in the southern atmosphere of the Sun. Unlike sun spots or filaments where magnetic field lines that emerge loop back onto the surface, a solar hole beams outwards in space and can therefore send out plasma at millions of miles an hour.
This is likely to result in a wonderful display of Northern Lights, which will be visible in the states of Michigan and Maine in the U.S. Stronger geomagnetic storms hold the potential to severely disrupt satellite-based navigation and radio communication as well as damage electrical grids. The impact of this storm will be minimal.
