Cause: June 26 Coronal Mass Ejection (CME)

Periods of active conditions are possible on 28 Jun if the anticipated CME from 24 Jun arrives. Otherwise, mostly quiet conditions are expected under weakening CH HSS influence. Mostly quiet conditions are expected for most of 29 Jun. Unsettled to active conditions are then expected late on 29 Jun into early on 30 Jun, with isolated minor storm (G1-Minor) conditions likely, due to the potential arrival of the 26 Jun CME.
