A. NOAA Geomagnetic Activity Observation and Forecast
The greatest observed 3 hr Kp over the past 24 hours was 2 (below NOAA
Scale levels).
The greatest expected 3 hr Kp for Feb 04-Feb 06 2026 is 5.00 (NOAA Scale
G1).

21-00UT 1.67 5.00 (G1) 4.00
Rationale: G1 (Minor) storming is likely on 05-06 Feb due to the arrival
of the CME associated with the 01/2357 UTC X8.1 flare from Region 4366.
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 Feb 04-Feb 06 2026
Feb 04 Feb 05 Feb 06
S1 or greater 30% 30% 30%
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.
C. NOAA Radio Blackout Activity and Forecast
Radio blackouts reaching the R3 levels were observed over the past 24
hours. The largest was at Feb 03 2026 1408 UTC.
Radio Blackout Forecast for Feb 04-Feb 06 2026
Feb 04 Feb 05 Feb 06
R1-R2 80% 80% 80%
R3 or greater 40% 40% 40%
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.

(S12E11, Ehi/beta) and 4465.

A. NOAA Geomagnetic Activity Observation and Forecast
The greatest observed 3 hr Kp over the past 24 hours was 4 (below NOAA

Rationale: Geomagnetic field conditions are likely to reach G2
(Moderate) geomagnetic storm levels on 13 Jun due to the persistence of
the high-speed stream combined with the anticipated arrival of CMEs that
left the Sun over 09 Jun and 11 Jun. Conditions are expected to decrease
on 14 Jun, with isolated G1 (Minor) storming periods still likely, as
CME influences wane.

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

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.

Rationale: CME arrival from the event on 30 June is likely to bring G1
(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
