Subj : 3-Day Space Weather Forecast To : All From : Sean Dennis Date : Fri May 17 2019 12:51:50 :Product: 3-Day Forecast :Issued: 2019 May 17 1230 UTC # Prepared by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, Space Weather Prediction Center # 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 May 17-May 19 2019 is 5 (NOAA Scale G1). NOAA Kp index breakdown May 17-May 19 2019 May 17 May 18 May 19 00-03UT 3 2 2 03-06UT 1 3 1 06-09UT 1 2 1 09-12UT 1 2 1 12-15UT 3 1 1 15-18UT 3 2 1 18-21UT 2 2 2 21-00UT 5 (G1) 2 2 Rationale: G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storming is likely on 17 May due to anticipated CME arrival. B. NOAA Solar Radiation Activity Observation and Forecast Solar radiation, as observed by NOAA GOES-15 over the past 24 hours, was below S-scale storm level thresholds.
