Probably of limited applicability as it mostly orients itself to SW and VHF. While it includes what hams call "LF", which correlates to 160 meters, which is located above the MW BCB, the propagation characteristics aren't identical.
The bottom line with almost any MW propagation forecast is that predicting what's going to occur with the sun is iffy at best. Many large sunspots remain active through 2 or 3 solar rotations, which increases predictive accuracy, but new spots forming on the back side of the sun or other less visible and less predictable impacts can come from other events. Further, some events occur but are aimed away from earth and therefore have little or no impact.
