SPACE WEATHER ADVISORY OUTLOOK #03- 38
2003 September 23 at 7:40 a.m. MDT (2003 September 23 1340 UTC)

**** SPACE WEATHER OUTLOOK ****

Summary For September 15-21
Space weather during the past week reached strong levels. A Category G3
(strong) geomagnetic storm occurred on September 17th. By September
18th, the storm decreased to a category G2 (moderate) and on September
19th  21st was a category G1(minor). The intensity of this storm was
due to the high speed solar winds associated with a large coronal hole
and the southward oriented component of the solar winds magnetic
field. A category R1 (minor) radio blackout also occurred during the
week due to an energetic solar flare on September 16th at 4:24 P.M. MDT
(2224 UTC). For a list of adverse system effects related to space
weather storms, please refer to the NOAA Space Weather Scales.

Outlook For September 24-30
Space weather for the next week may reach minor levels. Early in the
week, a category G1 storm is possible due to continuing effects from
the high speed solar winds associated with the large coronal hole.
There is also a slight chance of a category R1 radio blackout from a
moderately sized active sunspot region that has just rotated onto the
visible side of the sun.
