Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 03/2100Z to 04/2100Z: Solar activity has been very low. A halo CME was observed on the SOHO/LASCO imagery today. The event does not appear to be directed toward Earth. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low to low. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 03/2100Z to 04/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels today. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled. III. Event Probabilities 05 Sep-07 Sep Class M 05/05/05 Class X 01/01/01 Proton 01/01/01 PCAF Green IV.
