Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 15/2100Z to 16/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. Only B-class activity has been observed for the past 24 hours. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low for the next three days (17 - 19 September). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 15/2100Z to 16/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been quiet. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled with a chance for active periods on 17 - 18 September due to a geoeffective coronal hole high speed stream. Mostly quiet conditions are expected on 19 September. III. Event Probabilities 17 Sep-19 Sep Class M 01/01/01 Class X 01/01/01 Proton 01/01/01 PCAF green IV.
