2025-02-08 01:51 AM | WATCH: Geomagnetic Storm Category G1 Predicted Highest Storm Level Predicted by Day: THIS SUPERSEDES ANY/ALL PRIOR WATCHES IN EFFECT Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 60 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude. Induced Currents - Weak power grid fluctuations can occur. Spacecraft - Minor impact on satellite operations possible. Aurora - Aurora may be visible at high latitudes, i.e., northern tier of the U.S. such as northern Michigan and Maine. |
3-day Solar-Geophysical Forecast
Product: 3-Day Forecast
- Issued: 2025 Feb 07 1230 UTC
Prepared by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, Space Weather Prediction Center.
Geomagnetic Activity Observation and Forecast
The greatest observed 3 hr Kp over the past 24 hours was 3 (below NOAA Scale levels). The greatest expected 3 hr Kp for Feb 07-Feb 09 2025 is 3.67 (below NOAA Scale levels).
Feb 07 | Feb 08 | Feb 09 | |
---|---|---|---|
00-03UT | 0.67 | 2.67 | 1.67 |
03-06UT | 0.33 | 3.00 | 1.33 |
06-09UT | 1.67 | 3.00 | 1.33 |
09-12UT | 2.00 | 2.33 | 1.33 |
12-15UT | 3.67 | 2.00 | 1.33 |
15-18UT | 2.67 | 1.67 | 1.33 |
18-21UT | 2.67 | 1.33 | 1.67 |
21-00UT | 3.00 | 2.00 | 1.67 |
Rationale: No G1 (Minor) or greater geomagnetic storms are expected. A glancing blow from a CME that left the Sun on 02 Feb is possible on 07-08 Feb.
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.
Feb 07 | Feb 08 | Feb 09 | |
---|---|---|---|
S1 or greater | 25% | 25% | 25% |
Rationale: There is a chance for S1 (Minor) or greater solar radiation storms through 09 Feb as the complex cluster of sunspot regions in the north continues to rotate closer to the western limb.
Radio Blackout Activity and Forecast
Radio blackouts reaching the R1 levels were observed over the past 24 hours. The largest was at Feb 07 2025 0721 UTC.
Feb 07 | Feb 08 | Feb 09 | |
---|---|---|---|
R1-R2 | 80% | 80% | 80% |
R3 or greater | 25% | 25% | 25% |
Rationale: 1-R2 (Minor-Moderate) radio blackouts are expected through 09 Feb, with a chance for R3 (Strong) events, due to several magnetically complex sunspot groups.

The sun is constantly monitored for sun spots and coronal mass ejections. EIT (Extreme ultraviolet Imaging Telescope) images the solar atmosphere at several wavelengths, and therefore, shows solar material at different temperatures. In the images taken at 304 Angstrom the bright material is at 60,000 to 80,000 degrees Kelvin. In those taken at 171 Angstrom, at 1 million degrees. 195 Angstrom images correspond to about 1.5 million Kelvin, 284 Angstrom to 2 million degrees. The hotter the temperature, the higher you look in the solar atmosphere.

Instruments on board the NOAA Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite (POES) continually monitor the power flux carried by the protons and electrons that produce aurora in the atmosphere. SWPC has developed a technique that uses the power flux observations obtained during a single pass of the satellite over a polar region (which takes about 25 minutes) to estimate the total power deposited in an entire polar region by these auroral particles. The power input estimate is converted to an auroral activity index that ranges from 1 to 10.
