A. NOAA Geomagnetic Activity Observation and Forecast
The greatest observed 3 hr Kp over the past 24 hours was 3 (below NOAA
Scale levels).
The greatest expected 3 hr Kp for Apr 16-Apr 18 2014 is 3 (below NOAA
Scale levels).
NOAA Kp index breakdown Apr 16-Apr 18 2014

03-06UT 1 2 2
06-09UT 1 2 2

21-00UT 2 3 3
Rationale: No G1 (Minor) or greater geomagnetic storms are expected. No
significant transient or recurrent solar wind features are forecast.
B. NOAA Solar Radiation Activity Observation and Forecast
Solar radiation, as observed by NOAA GOES-13 over the past 24 hours, was
below S-scale storm level thresholds.
Solar Radiation Storm Forecast for Apr 16-Apr 18 2014
Apr 16 Apr 17 Apr 18
S1 or greater 1% 1% 1%
Rationale: No S1 (Minor) or greater solar radiation storms are expected.
No significant active region activity favorable for radiation storm
production is forecast.
C. NOAA Radio Blackout Activity and Forecast
No radio blackouts were observed over the past 24 hours.
Radio Blackout Forecast for Apr 16-Apr 18 2014
Apr 16 Apr 17 Apr 18
R1-R2 50% 50% 50%
R3 or greater 5% 5% 5%
Rationale: A chance for R1-R2 (Minor to Moderate) radio blackouts exist
for the forecast period (Apr 16-18) due to increasing complexity and
flare activity from multiple spot groups on the visible disk.
