Additional Comments

The solar wind speed will continue to decline during today before we start to see some influence from the next Coronal Hole towards the end of the first forecast interval. ACTIVE periods are likely over the next couple of days.
There is potentially a very small chance of a brief, isolated period of STORM G1 during day two due to the potential arrival of a co-rotating interaction region (CIR) associated with the northern polar coronal hole.
QUIET conditions overall should then follow towards the end of the forecast period as the High Speed Stream ceases to be geoeffective.
