EXTENDED WARNING: Geomagnetic K-index of 4 expected
Extension to Serial Number: 4853
Valid From: 2025 Feb 27 0101 UTC
Now Valid Until: 2025 Feb 28 1500 UTC
Warning Condition: Persistence
Additional Details Here.
Space Weather Message Code: WARK04 Serial Number: 4854 Issue Time: 2025 Feb 27 1742 UTC EXTENDED WARNING: Geomagnetic K-index of 4 expected Extension to Serial Number: 4853 Valid From: 2025 Feb 27 0101 UTC Now Valid Until: 2025 Feb 28 1500 UTC Warning Condition: Persistence NOAA Space Weather Scale descriptions can be found at www.swpc.noaa.gov/noaa-scales-explanation Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 65 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude. Induced Currents - Weak power grid fluctuations can occur. Aurora - Aurora may be visible at high latitudes such as Canada and Alaska. :Product: 3-Day Forecast :Issued: 2025 Feb 27 1230 UTC # Prepared by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, Space Weather Prediction Center # A. NOAA Geomagnetic Activity Observation and Forecast The greatest observed 3 hr Kp over the past 24 hours was 5.67 (NOAA Scale G2). The greatest expected 3 hr Kp for Feb 27-Mar 01 2025 is 6.00 (NOAA Scale G2). NOAA Kp index breakdown Feb 27-Mar 01 2025 Feb 27 Feb 28 Mar 01 00-03UT 4.00 4.00 3.67 03-06UT 4.33 3.67 2.67 06-09UT 3.33 3.00 2.67 09-12UT 5.67 (G2) 2.67 2.67 12-15UT 5.67 (G2) 3.00 2.67 15-18UT 4.67 (G1) 3.33 3.00 18-21UT 3.67 3.67 2.00 21-00UT 3.67 3.00 2.00 Rationale: G1-G2 geomagnetic storms are expected on 27 Feb due to influences from a positive polarity CH HSS. B. NOAA 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. Solar Radiation Storm Forecast for Feb 27-Mar 01 2025 Feb 27 Feb 28 Mar 01 S1 or greater 10% 5% 1% Rationale: There is a slight chance for an S1 (Minor) or greater solar radiation storm on 27 Feb due to potential from regions near and beyond the West limb. C. NOAA Radio Blackout Activity and Forecast No radio blackouts were observed over the past 24 hours. Radio Blackout Forecast for Feb 27-Mar 01 2025 Feb 27 Feb 28 Mar 01 R1-R2 65% 65% 65% R3 or greater 25% 25% 25% Rationale: R1-R2 (Minor-Moderate) events are likely, with a chance for R3 (Strong) or greater events, over 27 Feb - 01 Mar.

No significant transient or recurrent solar wind features are forecast. B. NOAA 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. Solar Radiation Storm Forecast for Jan 26-Jan 28 2025 Jan 26 Jan 27 Jan 28 S1 or greater 10% 10% 10% Rationale: There is a slight chance for S1 (Minor) or greater solar radiation storms over 26-28 Jun.

Great placement
A post talking about how TikTok won’t go away with a pop up over it about how it’s not available anymore.

Just making sure that everyone is aware of this crab that NOAA scientists found

If your arm is hanging at your side, or your hand is sitting in your lap when you get your blood pressure checked, the reading might be off.
Your Arm Position Can Make Blood Pressure Readings Inaccurate
Blood pressure categories are based on patients who are sitting in a certain position. But not every doctor’s office takes readings that way.
