802 FXXX10 KWNP 111231 DAYTDF :Product: 3-Day Forecast :Issued: 2024 Jun 11 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 4 (below NOAA Scale levels). The greatest expected 3 hr Kp for Jun 11-Jun 13 2024 is 4.67 (NOAA Scale G1). NOAA Kp index breakdown Jun 11-Jun 13 2024 Jun 11 Jun 12 Jun 13 00-03UT 4.00 2.00 1.33 03-06UT 4.00 2.33 1.33 06-09UT 2.67 3.33 1.33 09-12UT 2.00 2.67 1.33 12-15UT 3.00 2.67 1.33 15-18UT 2.33 2.00 1.67 18-21UT 2.33 2.00 1.67 21-00UT 4.67 (G1) 2.00 1.67 Rationale: G1 (minor) storm conditions are likely on 11 June as CME effects persist. 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 11-Jun 13 2024 Jun 11 Jun 12 Jun 13 S1 or greater 10% 5% 5% Rationale: The greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to remain slightly enhanced through 11 May, then decrease to normal levels on 12-13 May, barring any further enhancements. C. NOAA Radio Blackout Activity and Forecast Radio blackouts reaching the R2 levels were observed over the past 24 hours. The largest was at Jun 10 2024 1840 UTC. Radio Blackout Forecast for Jun 11-Jun 13 2024 Jun 11 Jun 12 Jun 13 R1-R2 55% 50% 45% R3 or greater 20% 15% 10% Rationale: Solar activity is likely to be at moderate to high levels (R1-R2/Minor-Moderate), with a chance for isolated X-class flare activity (R3/Strong), for the remainder of 11 Jun. On 12-13 Jun, there is a decreasing chance for M-class flares, with only a slight chance for isolated X-class flare activity as Region 3697 moves further beyond the SW limb.
