:Product: 1106RSGA.txt :Issued: 2008 Nov 06 2200 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 311 Issued at 2200Z on 06 Nov 2008 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 05/2100Z to 06/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. Region 1007 (N35W84) was stable as it approached the west limb. No new active regions were numbered. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 05/2100Z to 06/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was high during most of the period. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: Geomagnetic field activity is expected to range from active to minor storm levels with a chance for major storm levels at high latitudes on day 1 (07 November) due to a recurrent coronal hole high-speed stream. Activity is expected to decrease to unsettled to active levels on day 2 (08 November). A further decrease to quiet to unsettled levels is expected on day 3 (09 November) as coronal hole effects subside. III.
