Alright folks, let's dive into the cosmic weather forecast brought to you by the U.S. Department of Commerce and NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center.

Geomagnetic Activity Observation: Over the past 24 hours, the highest observed 3-hour Kp level was 3, staying below NOAA's scale. As we look ahead to Aug 16-18, we're expecting the Kp level to reach up to 4.67, indicating a G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storm on the 18th due to a Coronal Mass Ejection from the Sun on the 14th.

Solar Radiation Activity Observation: NOAA's GOES-18 satellite reported solar radiation below storm levels in the last 24 hours. The forecast for Aug 16-18 shows a 15% chance of S1 (Minor) conditions due to complex solar regions causing flare potential.

Radio Blackout Activity: Recent radio blackouts hit R1 levels, with the largest recorded on Aug 15th at 0348 UTC. Looking forward to Aug 16-18, we're expecting R1-R2 (Minor-Moderate) blackout levels at a 75% chance, and a 25% chance for R3 or greater, driven by multiple solar regions with flare potential.
