The issue is being worked here and on the West coast with high priority. Radiation: - Radiation environment is fairly quiet at this time, though some activity is possible due to a recent weak CME. - Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to persist at the low level. - Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be generally unsettled. There is a slight chance of a small disturbance later in the period from a possible CME associated with the C2/Sf with type II that occurred today.
