By popular demand (34 to 1), here's the NOAA forecast. Many
of you commented that you pay much more attention to rapid changes in
the A and K indices than the Solar Flux Index. The 27.5 day solar
cycle is usually very accurate in predicting this, but I still find
the best conditions are at the onset of major flares, which is not
predictable. As we all know, there's no substitute for listening!
