Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 08/2100Z to 09/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. New Region 904 (S14E76) was numbered today. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low to low. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 08/2100Z to 09/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet to active. An isolated active period was observed at middle latitudes between 09/0900 - 1200 UTC. Solar wind speed at ACE has decreased from approximately 580 km/s to 460 km/s. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels again today. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled. III.
