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 Nov 20-Nov 22 2024 is 3.00 (below NOAA
Scale levels).

Rationale: No G1 (Minor) or greater geomagnetic storms are expected. No
significant transient or recurrent solar wind features are forecast.
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 5% 5% 5%
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
No radio blackouts were observed over the past 24 hours.
Radio Blackout Forecast for Nov 20-Nov 22 2024
Nov 20 Nov 21 Nov 22
R1-R2 50% 50% 50%
R3 or greater 10% 10% 10%
Rationale: Solar activity is expected to be low, with a chance for
M-class flares (R1-R2/Minor-Moderate) activity and a slight chance of
X-class (R3-Strong) events 20-22 Nov due primarily to the flare
potential of Regions 3897 - which will rotate out of view by 21 Nov -
and Regions 3899 and 3898.
Extended Space Weather Discussion:
Solar Activity
.24 hr Summary...
Solar activity was at low levels with only C-class flares during the
period. Region 3897 (S10W82, Dai/beta) underwent notable growth but only
produced some infrequent C-class flares. Region 3901 (S08E44,
Dao/beta-gamma) was still foreshortened, but appeared to have mixed
polarity characteristics and the region was a source of only C-class
activity thus far. Region 3898 (S17W18, Cro/beta) experienced minor
growth. The remaining regions were mostly stable and underwent little
change. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph
imagery.
.Forecast...
Solar activity is expected to be low, with a chance for M-class flares
(R1-R2; Minor-Moderate) activity and a slight chance of X-class (R3;
Strong) events 20-22 Nov due primarily to the flare potential of Regions
3897 - which will rotate out of view by 21 Nov - and Regions 3899 and
3898.
Energetic Particle
.24 hr Summary...
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux was normal to moderate and the
greater than 10 MeV proton flux was at background levels.
.Forecast...
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to continue at normal
levels and the greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to maintain
background levels.
Solar Wind
.24 hr Summary...
Solar wind conditions were indicative of an enhanced interplanetary
magnetic field (IMF), but rather benign solar wind speeds. The IMF
strength increased from 5 - 7nT up to 10nT as the period progressed. The
Bz component was primarily southward directed, but turned mainly
northward after 19/1620 UTC. Solar wind speed was fairly steady from
350-400 km/s and the phi angle was predominantly in a positive sector.
.Forecast...
Solar wind conditions are anticipated to become elevated further on 22
Nov due to negative polarity CH HSS influences.
Geospace
.24 hr Summary...
The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled.
.Forecast...
Geomagnetic conditions are expected to be mainly quiet through 21 Nov,
with unsettled conditions probable on 22 Nov due to CH HSS effects.
