Rationale: No G1 (Minor) or greater geomagnetic storms are expected.

B. NOAA Solar Radiation Activity Observation and Forecast

Solar radiation, as observed by NOAA GOES-18 over the past 24 hours, was
below S-scale storm level thresholds.

              Jan 05  Jan 06  Jan 07
S1 or greater   10%     10%     10%

Rationale: There remains a slight chance for S1 (Minor) or greater solar
radiation storms over 05-07 Jan.

C. NOAA Radio Blackout Activity and Forecast

No radio blackouts were observed over the past 24 hours.
