**** SPACE WEATHER OUTLOOK ****

Summary For September 16-22
Space weather reached minor levels during the period.  Three
short-lived, category R1 (minor) radio blackouts affected Earth's
ionosphere due to solar flare activity from sunspots.  These radio
blackouts peaked at the following times:  9:10 p.m. MDT (mountain
daylight time) on September 16th, 11:12 p.m. MDT on September 19th, and
3:28 a.m. MDT on September 20th.

Outlook For September 25-October 1
Space weather may reach minor levels, as a slight chance for additional
category R1 (minor) radio blackouts is possible in response to expected
sunspot activity during the forecast period.
