Geomagnetic Activity Summary: The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to minor storm levels. Two periods of minor storming occurred one at 1200 and another at 1700 UTC. The solar wind speeds continue to be elevated above 450 km/s, reaching over 600 km/s toward the end of the period. This combined with a sustained southward interplanetary magnetic field polarity have kept the geomagnetic field elevated. D. Stratwarm: None E.
