[ips-sf] ASWFC Summary Forecast for 24 February - issued 2323UT/23-Feb-2024 [SEC=OFFICIAL]

[rwc]

Solar activity on UT day 24-Feb is expected to be at R2-R3 levels due
to a large flare active solar region currently located in the
northeast solar quadrant. The solar wind speed is expected to be light
to moderate. G0 geomagnetic conditions are expected, with a chance of
G1 due to the anticipated component arrival of a mostly west-directed
CME first observed on 21-Feb. HF radio communication conditions are
expected to be mostly normal. Maximum usable frequencies (MUFs) are
expected to be near predicted values to 15% enhanced. Shortwave
fadeouts are probable.
