:Product: 0526RSGA.txt :Issued: 2010 May 26 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 146 Issued at 2200Z on 26 May 2010 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 25/2100Z to 26/2100Z: Solar activity has been very low. Region 1072 (S15 W52) has decayed to a unipolar H type group. No flares were observed during the period. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 25/2100Z to 26/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been quiet. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be initially quiet. An increase to unsettled to active levels with a slight chance for minor storm periods is expected around mid-day on day one (May 27), due to the arrival of the CME observed on 23 May. Continued active levels with a slight chance for minor storm periods are expected on day two (May 28) and continuing through day three (May 29), with the arrival of the CME observed on 24 May. III.
