SPACE WEATHER ADVISORY OUTLOOK #03- 41

2003 October 14 at 11:33 a.m. MDT (2003 October 14 1733 UTC)

**** SPACE WEATHER OUTLOOK ****

Summary For October 6-12

No Space weather storms were observed during the past week. A weak
geomagnetic disturbance was observed during the first half of the
period, but the G1 (minor storm) threshold was not exceeded. Only
minor, mostly simple sunspot groups dominated the visible disk this
period, none with any significant radio blackout potential. For a list
of adverse system effects related to space weather storms, please refer
to the NOAA Space Weather Scales.

Outlook For October 15-21

Space weather for the next week will likely reach minor to moderate
levels. Category G1 and G2 geomagnetic storms are expected as high
speed solar winds are expected from a large coronal hole. There is
also a slight chance of a category R1 radio blackout from an old active
sunspot region that is due to return to the visible disk early in the
period.
