2. FORECAST (17 APRIL - 23 APRIL)
Solar: Moderate activity possible early in week otherwise mostly low levels
expected.

Geomagnetic: Isolated active and possible minor storm periods early in the
week declining to mostly quiet to unsettled for the remainder of the forecast
period.

Frequencies: Depressions for southern regions (mid-high latitudes) early in the
forecast period otherwise MUFs should be mostly near predicted monthly values.
