Solar activity remained at moderate levels. Region 794 (S11E34) produced the largest flare of the period, an M3/1n event that occurred at 03/0506Z. A Tenflare (120 sfu) and a Type II spectral radio sweep that had an estimated shock velocity of 725 km/sec accompanied the flare. LASCO imagery depicted a CME that does not appear to have an Earth directed component. This region continues to show steady growth in magnetic development and sunspot count. Showing steady decay, Region 792 (N11W01) was limited to B and C-class flare activity today. The delta structure seen yesterday in the northern portion of the sunspot cluster is no longer visible although gamma structures are apparent in both polarities. Region 796 (S07E05) was numbered today.

Solar activity is expected to be at moderate levels. Regions 792 and 794 are capable of producing M-class flare activity.

The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels.

The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels. Isolated active conditions are possible on 04 August due to the potential for transient activity associated with the CME events seen on 01 and 02 August.
