Solar activity was low. Region 208 (N10E35) produced the largest event of the period, a C9/Sf flare at 02/1927 UTC. This region has undergone minor growth in size and spot count and shown an increase in magnetic complexity over the past 24 hours. Region 207 (S20E06) remains the largest region on the visible disk, and produced a C1/Sf flare at 02/2033 UTC. An impressive partial-halo CME was visible over the northwest limb in SOHO/LASCO C2 imagery starting at about 02/1750 UTC, but a lack in corresponding observations of notable x-ray enhancement or optical flare activity suggests a likely backside source for this event. Two new regions were numbered today: Region 211 (S08E04) and Region 212 (N13E75).

Solar activity is expected to be predominantly low, with a slight chance for moderate flare activity during the next three days. Region 208 appears to be the most likely source for possible M-class activity during the period.

The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit again reached high levels today.

The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels for the next three days. Greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is likely to persist at high levels for the next one to three days.
