Rationale: G1-G2 (Minor-Moderate) geomagnetic storms are expected on 13
Aug in response to CME influences.

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.

S1 or greater   15%     15%     15%

Rationale: There is a slight chance for S1 (Minor) storms through 15
Aug.

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.
