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.
