Because of the current (although small) coronal hole and dense protuberances at the eastern border of solar disk, we expect an active to disturbed event especially in the second half of currently forecasted period. It is most probable about Wednesday, April 16.

Till this event, we expect at most the current geomagnetic activity at unsettled level. It can be intermissed by some quiet days about the coming weekend.
