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 Jun 18-Jun 20 2024 is 4.00 (below NOAA
Scale levels).

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-18 over the past 24 hours, was
below S-scale storm level thresholds.

Solar Radiation Storm Forecast for Jun 18-Jun 20 2024

              Jun 18  Jun 19  Jun 20
S1 or greater   15%     10%     10%

Rationale: There is a slight chance for an S1 (Minor) or greater solar
radiation storms from two large sunspot regions nearing center disk.

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 17 2024 0804 UTC.

Radio Blackout Forecast for Jun 18-Jun 20 2024

R1-R2           55%           55%           55%
R3 or greater   10%           10%           10%

Rationale: R1 (Minor) to R2 (Moderate) are likely from two large sunspot
regions near center disk.
