Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 26/2100Z to 27/2100Z: Solar activity has been very low. A new region was numbered today as Region 856 (S08E69). This region has been the source of several low level B-class flares in the past 24 hours. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 26/2100Z to 27/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be mostly quiet. Periods of unsettled conditions on 28 February are possible due to coronal hole affects. III. Event Probabilities 28 Feb-02 Mar Class M 01/01/01 Class X 01/01/01 Proton 01/01/01 PCAF Green IV.
