No. That's not true and the AP News seems to be having trouble interpreting the forecast. The 27 day forecast for activity just has to do with the rotation of the sun bringing back active regions to face earth every ~27 days. This allows you to make very general low accuracy predictions about the solar wind and coronal hole based co-rotating interaction region geomagnetic effects. But these effects are minimal and only really matter to people under the auroral oval (far north/south).

There is no way to predict actual solar storms that far ahead. Nor any way to predict geomagnetic effects at Earth 4 days ahead unless the sun put out a really slow, big CME (which it hasn't).

This is not news. This is a science understanding mistake made by AP News.
