Solar wind parameters, as measured by the DSCOVR spacecraft, reflected continued influence of CMEs, likely associated with activity that occurred on the Sun over 10-11 Feb. Total magnetic field strength was between 10-22 nT, with the peak observed at 16/0826 UTC. Bz reached as far south as -19 nT at 16/0818 UTC. Solar wind speeds gradually increased from ~325km/s at the beginning of the period to between ~450-500 km/s by the periods end. There is a 25% chance of solar activity, with a 30% chance of a minor event, a 20% chance of a moderate event, and a 10% chance of a strong event.
