Additional Comments

The solar wind speed is currently elevated, increasing chances of isolated ACTIVE intervals.
The influence of a coronal hole will become geoeffective tomorrow. This will increase the solar wind speed further, resulting in probable minor storm intervals (STORM G1) throughout the second and third periods.
