817 FXXX12 KWNP 030031 DAYDIS :Product: Forecast Discussion :Issued: 2024 Jul 03 0030 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 # # Forecast Discussion # Solar Activity .24 hr Summary... Solar activity was at low levels. Region 3729 (S05W12, Eai/beta-gamma-delta) and a Region just beyond the SE limb near S17 were responsible for multiple low level C-class flares. The largest was a C2.6 at at 02/0910 UTC from just beyond the SE limb. Slight growth was observed in Region 3729 and it developed a delta configuration in its leader spots. The rest of the spotted regions were either stable or gradually decaying. No new Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph imagery. .Forecast... Solar activity is expected to be low over 03-05 Jul with a chance for M-class (R1-R2/Minor-Moderate) flares. Energetic Particle .24 hr Summary... The greater than 2 MeV electron flux was at normal to moderate levels and the greater than 10 MeV proton flux was at background levels. .Forecast... The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to continue at normal to moderate levels on 03-05 Jul and the greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to persist at background levels. Solar Wind .24 hr Summary... Solar wind parameters decreased to nominal levels. Solar wind speed decreased from 415 km/s to near 378km/s. Total field was steady at 2-3 nT while the Bz component was between +/-3 nT. Phi angle was predominantly positive. .Forecast... Enhanced solar wind conditions are expected to return on 03-04 Jul due to the anticipated arrival of multiple CMEs that left the Sun between 26-29 Jun. Geospace .24 hr Summary... The geomagnetic field was quiet. .Forecast... Unsettled to active levels are anticipated on 03-04 Jul with isolated minor storm periods likely on 03 Jul due to the anticipated arrival of multiple CMEs that departed the Sun between 26-29 Jun. Quiet to unsettled levels are expected on 05 Jul.
