Solar activity increased to low levels today. Region 756 (S06E55) appears to be a magnetically complex beta-delta sunspot group. There were several C-class flares produced from this region during the period, the largest was an impulsive C5 x-ray event that occurred at 26/0441Z. A disappearing filament was observed starting late yesterday and continued into the early part of the interval. This event resulted in a partial halo CME which was first observed in SOHO/LASCO C2 imagery beginning at 24/2306Z. There is a chance this CME may become geoeffective and produce a weak glancing blow as it passes the Earth. No new regions were numbered today.

Solar activity is expected to be at low levels. There is a slight chance for an isolated M-class flare from Region 756.

The geomagnetic field was at quiet levels today.

The geomagnetic field is expected to be at predominantly quiet to unsettled levels. The partial halo CME seen today on the southwest limb may result in isolated periods of active conditions on 29 April.
