NOAA Geomagnetic Activity Observation and Forecast The greatest observed 3 hr Kp over the past 24 hours was 8 (NOAA Scale G4). The greatest expected 3 hr Kp for Aug 13-Aug 15 2024 is 5.67 (NOAA Scale G2). NOAA Kp index breakdown Aug 13-Aug 15 2024 Aug 13 Aug 14 Aug 15 00-03UT 4.67 (G1) 4.00 3.00 03-06UT 3.33 3.00 2.67 06-09UT 2.33 2.67 2.33 09-12UT 1.67 2.33 2.00 12-15UT 2.00 2.00 1.67 15-18UT 2.67 2.00 1.67 18-21UT 3.67 2.00 1.33 21-00UT 5.67 (G2) 2.33 2.00 Rationale: G2 (Moderate) levels are likely, but diminishing, on 13 Aug as CME influences dissipate. 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 Aug 13-Aug 15 2024 Aug 13 Aug 14 Aug 15 S1 or greater 10% 10% 10% Rationale: No S1 (Minor) or greater solar radiation storms are expected. No significant active region activity favorable for radiation storm production is forecast. C. NOAA Radio Blackout Activity and Forecast Radio blackouts reaching the R1 levels were observed over the past 24 hours. The largest was at Aug 12 2024 2257 UTC. Radio Blackout Forecast for Aug 13-Aug 15 2024 Aug 13 Aug 14 Aug 15 R1-R2 75% 75% 75% R3 or greater 25% 25% 25% Rationale: (R1-R2, Minor-Moderate) radio blackouts are expected, with a chance for (R3-Strong) radio blackouts through 15 Aug.
