Rationale: G1-Minor geomagnetic storming conditions are expected on
day one (14 Apr) due to combined effects from the CH HSS and possible
glancing blow influence from the 10 Apr CME. Conditions are expected to
drop below G1-Minor storm levels for days two and three (15-16 Apr) as
CH HSS effects begin to wane.
