:Product: 0419RSGA.txt :Issued: 2008 Apr 19 2203 UTC # Prepared jointly by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, # Space Weather Prediction Center and the U.S. Air Force. # Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity SDF Number 110 Issued at 2200Z on 19 Apr 2008 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 18/2100Z to 19/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. New Region 991 (S09E29) was numbered today and has a Bxo-beta configuration spot group. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to remain very low. There is a slight chance of an isolated C-class event from Region 991. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 18/2100Z to 19/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be mostly quiet on day one (20 April). A recurrent coronal hole high speed stream begins to become geoeffective on day two (21 April) with unsettled conditions expected. Unsettled to active levels, with a chance for minor to major storms at high latitudes, are anticipated by day three (22 April). III.
