SPACE WEATHER ADVISORY OUTLOOK #04- 44

2004 November 02 at 12:33 p.m. MST (2004 November 02 1933 UTC)

**** SPACE WEATHER OUTLOOK ****

Summary For October 25-31

Category R1 (minor), R2 (moderate), and R3 (strong) radio blackouts were
observed on 30 October due to a burst of solar flare activity from
active sunspot Region 691. Category R1 radio blackouts were observed
again on 31 October following more, albeit isolated, solar flare
activity from this same active sunspot cluster.

Outlook For November 3-9

Category R1 (minor) radio blackouts are possible from active sunspot
Regions 691 and 693. There is a chance for category G1 (minor) and G2
(moderate) geomagnetic storms due to clouds of magnetic material from
solar flares on the Sun and from high speed solar wind from a coronal
hole on the Sun. Category S1 (minor) solar radiation storms are
possible with major solar flare activity from active sunspot Regions
691 and 693.
