Rationale: The greater than 10 MeV proton flux has a chance to exceed S1 (Minor) levels over 04-06 Feb due to the high eruptive potential of
Region 4366. The risk of a proton event will increase as the region
moves into a more favorable magnetic connection point in the Suns
western hemisphere.

Rationale: Moderate to high solar activity is expected due to M-class
flaring (R1-R2, Minor-Moderate) for the next three days with a high
chance for X-class flares (R3-Strong or greater) due to expected further activity from AR 4366.

In the late 90s, I worked for Sears Direct as a PC phone tech in their former call center in Austin, Texas (just down the road from Dell's). I once was helping a customer and told hem to press any key to continue.

A pregnant pause followed. The customer said sheepishly, "I can't find the any
key."

I have many funny stories from that job...

Yeah, I had the unfortunate experience of being with a loved one who had to call emergency services out of state to take care of a situation and they were so distraught when they called directory assistance they litterally asked, "I NEED THE NUMBER TO 911", I calmly asked for the phone to facilitate getting the correct information."

The brain does some not so amazing things when one is stressed.

My favorite story was about the elderly man who became wealthy sauddenly because oil was found on his land and he bougfht a new Packard Bell PVC but
was using the CD-rom drive tray as a beer holder.

Not all the calls were simple. There were a lot of calls concerning driver issues with Windows 95 and Windows 98. But I enjoyed the job and learned much from it as it would lay the foundation for my system and network adminstration jobs later on.

Rationale: G1 (Minor) storm conditions are early 01 Jul in response to
ongoing influences from the arrival of a CME that left the Sun on 26
Jun. Analysis is ongoing to evaluate potential Earth impacts from the 30
June X1.1 CME, with preliminary tracking suggesting an arrival over
03-04 Jul.

Rationale: The probability for S1 (Minor) or greater solar radiation

the potential of Regions 4478 and 4479.

(Minor) geomagnetic storm conditions, with a chance for G2 (Moderate)
levels early on 04 Jul. Further CME activity from 01-02 Jul, combined
with possible influences from +CH72, are likely to bring active to

Rationale: A slight chance for R1-2 (Minor-Moderate) radio blackouts
will persist through 18 Jul primarily due to returning regions on the
Eastern limb.

Rationale: G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storms are likely on 22 Jul due to
negative polarity coronal hole high speed stream effects.

Rationale: Solar activity is expected to be low with further M-class
flares (R1-R2/Minor-Moderate) likely on 22-24 Jul primarily due to the
flare potential of AR 4493.
