Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 13/2100Z to 14/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. The solar disk remains spotless. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 13/2100Z to 14/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was unsettled to active. Solar wind speed remains elevated at approximately 540 km/s. 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 with a chance for isolated active periods on 15 October. Expect quiet to unsettled conditions on 16 - 17 October. III. Event Probabilities 15 Oct-17 Oct Class M 01/01/01 Class X 01/01/01 Proton 01/01/01 PCAF Green IV.
