Product: Forecast Discussion Issued: 2021 Jan 22 0030 UTC Prepared by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, Space Weather Prediction Center
Solar Activity
.24 hr Summary… Solar activity was at very low levels. Region 2797 (S18E22, Hax/alpha) was stable and inactive. Region 2798 (S16E34, Cao/beta) produced numerous B-class flares, but was otherwise stable. A filament eruption in the SE quadrant, observed between about 20/2000-2100 UTC resulted in a slow-moving CME off the ESE limb, first visible in LASCO C2 imagery at about 20/2124 UTC. Analysis, and subsequent model run output, suggested there was no Earth-directed component.
.Forecast… Solar activity is expected to remain at very low levels, with a chance for C-class activity, on 22-24 Jan.
Energetic Particles
.24 hr Summary… The greater than 2 MeV electron flux reached moderate levels and the greater than 10 MeV proton flux was at background values.
.Forecast… The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to be at normal to moderate levels while the greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to persist at background levels.
Solar Wind
.24 hr Summary… Solar wind parameters were at nominal levels. Total magnetic field strength was at or below 5 nT while the Bz component varied between +/-2 nT. Wind speed averaged around 310 km/s. Phi began the period in a negative orientation, but became variable after about 21/1520 UTC.
.Forecast… A nominal solar wind environment is expected for the next three days (22-24 Jan).
Geospace
.24 hr Summary… The geomagnetic field was quiet.
.Forecast… Mostly quiet conditions are anticipated through for 22-24 Jan.

Product: Forecast Discussion Issued: 2021 Jan 21 1230 UTC Prepared by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, Space Weather Prediction Center Solar Activity
.24 hr Summary… Solar activity was at low levels. Region 2797 (S18E37, Hsx/alpha) was inactive and stable. Region 2798 (S17E46, Cao/beta) produced a C1/Sf flare at 20/1253 UTC, in addition to several B-level enhancements. There were CMEs off the east and west limbs; none of which are expected to have an Earth-directed component.
.Forecast… Solar activity is expected to remain at very low levels, with a chance for a C-class flare, on 21-23 Jan.
Energetic Particles
.24 hr Summary… The greater than 2 MeV electron flux reached moderate levels and the greater than 10 MeV proton flux was at background values.
.Forecast… The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to be at normal to moderate levels on 21-22 Jan. Moderate to high levels are expected by 23 Jan due to CH HSS influence. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to persist at background levels.
Solar Wind
.24 hr Summary… Solar wind parameters were at or near background levels. Total magnetic field strength averaged around 5 nT, and the Bz component underwent only minor deviations. Wind speed settled around 325 km/s by the end of the UTC day. Phi continued to bounce between positive and negative solar orientations.
.Forecast… A positive polarity CH HSS is still anticipated for 21 Jan although confidence is waning based on recent trends in solar wind data.
Geospace
.24 hr Summary… The geomagnetic field was quiet.
.Forecast… Unsettled and active levels are likely if a positive polarity CH HSS originating from the northern crown connects with Earth on 21 Jan. Otherwise mostly quiet conditions can be anticipated through 23 Jan.
