A. NOAA Geomagnetic Activity Observation and Forecast
The greatest observed 3 hr Kp over the past 24 hours was 4 (below NOAA
Scale levels).
The greatest expected 3 hr Kp for Mar 30-Apr 01 2026 is 4.67 (NOAA Scale
G1).

18-21UT 3.00 2.67 2.00
21-00UT 3.67 2.67 2.33
Rationale: G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storming is likely on 30 Mar in
response to +CH HSS 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.
Solar Radiation Storm Forecast for Mar 30-Apr 01 2026
Mar 30 Mar 31 Apr 01
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 Mar 30-Apr 01 2026
Mar 30 Mar 31 Apr 01
R1-R2 45% 45% 45%
R3 or greater 10% 10% 10%
Rationale: There is a chance for R1-R2 (Minor-Moderate) radio blackouts,
and a slight chance for an R3 (Strong) event on 30 Mar - 01 Apr.
