    21-00UT 2.00 1.67 1.67

    Rationale: No G1 (Minor) or greater geomagnetic storms are expected over
    10-12 Feb.

    B. NOAA Solar Radiation Activity Observation and Forecast

    Rationale: There is a chance for S1 (Minor) or greater solar radiation
    storms on 10-12 Feb due to the flare potential and location of Region
    4366.

    C. NOAA Radio Blackout Activity and Forecast

    hours. The largest was at Feb 09 2026 0227 UTC.

    21-00UT 1.67 3.00 5.00 (G1)

    Rationale: G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storms are likely on 15 Feb due to
    combined potential from a recurrent coronal hole and a passing coronal
    mass ejection.

    B. NOAA Solar Radiation Activity Observation and Forecast

    regions on the Suns visible disk.

    21-00UT 3.33 2.67 3.00

    Rationale: Isolated periods of G1 (Minor-Moderate) geomagnetic storming
    are likely on 16 Feb due to positive polarity CH HSS influences with
    potential weak CME enhancements as a CME from 13 Feb might pass in close proximity.
