# 3-Day Forecast
#
A. NOAA Geomagnetic Activity Observation and Forecast
The greatest observed 3 hr Kp over the past 24 hours was 2 (below NOAA
Scale levels).
The greatest expected 3 hr Kp for May 30-Jun 01 2024 is 6.00 (NOAA Scale
G2).
NOAA Kp index breakdown May 30-Jun 01 2024
May 30 May 31 Jun 01
00-03UT 1.00 1.67 5.67 (G2)
03-06UT 1.67 1.33 5.00 (G1)
06-09UT 1.67 1.33 4.33
09-12UT 2.00 1.33 3.00
12-15UT 1.33 1.33 2.33
15-18UT 1.67 4.67 (G1) 2.00
18-21UT 2.00 6.00 (G2) 2.67
21-00UT 2.00 5.33 (G1) 2.33
Rationale: G1-G2 (Minor-Moderate) geomagnetic storming is likely
on 31 May-01 Jun due to flanking effects from the 29 May CME.
B. NOAA Solar Radiation Activity Observation and Forecast
Solar radiation, as observed by NOAA GOES-18 over the past 24 hours, was
below S-scale storm level thresholds.
Solar Radiation Storm Forecast for May 30-Jun 01 2024
May 30 May 31 Jun 01
S1 or greater 25% 25% 25%
Rationale: There is a chance for a greater than 10 MeV proton event
exceeding the S1 (Minor) threshold through 01 Jun primarily due to
the flare potential of Regions 3691 and 3697.
C. NOAA Radio Blackout Activity and Forecast
Radio blackouts reaching the R3 levels were observed over the past 24
hours. The largest was at May 29 2024 1437 UTC.
Radio Blackout Forecast for May 30-Jun 01 2024
May 30 May 31 Jun 01
R1-R2 75% 75% 75%
R3 or greater 35% 35% 35%
Rationale: R1-R2 (Minor-Moderate) Radio Blackouts are expected, with a
chance for isolated R3 (Strong) through 01 Jun.
