quote: **** SPACE WEATHER OUTLOOK ****
Summary For October 29-November 4 Space weather reached category 4 (severe) levels on the NOAA Space Weather Scales due to a solar radiation storm on November 4. A large and magnetically complex sunspot group, referred to as Region 9684 by NOAA space weather forecasters, produced a major flare on November 4 at 4:20 p.m. MST (2001 November 4 1620 UT). This resulted in radio blackouts reaching category R3 (strong) levels and solar radiation reaching category S4 (severe) levels on November 4. Earlier in the summary period, from October 29 - November 3, isolated category R1 (minor) radio blackouts occurred due to moderate-sized solar flares. On November 1 a category G1 (minor) geomagnetic storm occurred as a weak CME (coronal mass ejection) passed earth. For a list of adverse system effects related to space weather storms, please refer to the NOAA Space Weather Scales.
Outlook For November 7-13 Space weather is expected to range from minor to moderate levels. Category R1 (minor) to R2 (moderate) radio blackouts are possible during the period. There will be a continuing category S2 (moderate) solar radiation storm on November 7 which should subside to a category S1 (minor) storm and end by November 8 or November 9. A category G1 (minor) geomagnetic storm is possible on November 7 due to the effects of a CME passing earth on November 6.
