497 FXXX10 KWNP 041231 DAYTDF :Product: 3-Day Forecast :Issued: 2024 Jun 04 1230 UTC # Prepared by the US Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, Space Weather Prediction Center # Product description and SWPC contact on the Web # http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/wwire.html # # 3-Day Forecast # A. NOAA Geomagnetic Activity Observation and Forecast The greatest observed 3 hr Kp over the past 24 hours was 5 (NOAA Scale G1). The greatest expected 3 hr Kp for Jun 04-Jun 06 2024 is 5.00 (NOAA Scale G1). NOAA Kp index breakdown Jun 04-Jun 06 2024 Jun 04 Jun 05 Jun 06 00-03UT 2.67 4.00 1.33 03-06UT 3.00 3.67 1.33 06-09UT 2.67 2.67 1.33 09-12UT 2.00 3.00 1.33 12-15UT 2.00 3.00 1.33 15-18UT 3.67 3.33 1.67 18-21UT 5.00 (G1) 2.33 1.67 21-00UT 4.67 (G1) 2.33 1.67 Rationale: G1 (Minor) storm levels are expected on 04 Jun with the nearby passing of the 01 Jun 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 Jun 04-Jun 06 2024 Jun 04 Jun 05 Jun 06 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 06 Jun, primarily due to the flare potential of Region 3697. C. NOAA Radio Blackout Activity and Forecast Radio blackouts reaching the R1 levels were observed over the past 24 hours. The largest was at Jun 03 2024 1411 UTC. Radio Blackout Forecast for Jun 04-Jun 06 2024 Jun 04 Jun 05 Jun 06 R1-R2 75% 75% 75% R3 or greater 35% 35% 35% Rationale: Solar activity is expected to continue at moderate to high levels through 06 Jun, with occasional M-class flares (R1-R2/Minor-Moderate Radio Blackouts) and a chance for isolated X-class flare activity (R3 Strong).
