The forecast is for a mild geomagnetic storm. Ones of this magnitude often occur a couple of times a month. It's trivial.
"NOAA forecasters say there is a 55% chance of G1-class geomagnetic storms when the solar wind stream arrives on March 14th or 15th. G1-class storms are relatively minor and have little effect on satellites and global power grids. However, they can disorient animals that migrate using magnetic cues at high latitudes and usually spark bright auroras around the Arctic Circle." http:// spaceweather.com/
I cannot understand why the MSM is hyping a G1 magnetic storm unless they have an ulterior motive or are just stupid (they are stupid).

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 Mar 14-Mar 16 2018 is 5 (NOAA Scale
G1).

Mar 14 Mar 15 Mar 16
00-03UT 2 4 3
03-06UT 2 5 (G1) 4
06-09UT 2 3 3
09-12UT 2 3 2
12-15UT 2 2 2
15-18UT 4 2 3
18-21UT 5 (G1) 3 3
21-00UT 4 4 3
Rationale: The geomagnetic field is expected to reach unsettled to
active levels, with likely periods of G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storming on
days one and two (14-15 Mar) due to CIR and CH HSS effects. Day three
(16 Mar) is expected to experience quiet to active conditions as CH HSS
effects continue but weaken.
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.
Solar Radiation Storm Forecast for Mar 14-Mar 16 2018
Mar 14 Mar 15 Mar 16
S1 or greater 1% 1% 1%
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.

Mar 14 Mar 15 Mar 16
R1-R2 1% 1% 1%
R3 or greater 1% 1% 1%
Rationale: No R1 (Minor) or greater radio blackouts are expected. No
significant active region flare activity is forecast.
The stream of pinup pictures basically ensures that no females will ever step up to bake. This idiocy is basically prohibiting 50% of co-anons from contributing. Pin-up pictures do not contribute to the researech in any way. GKYS. This fucking shit has to stop, now.
