Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 12/2100Z to 13/2100Z: Solar activity was low. A new spot group emerged and was numbered Region 1320 (S22W39). There are currently ten numbered regions, several producing C-class events. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be low with a chance for an M-class event over the next 3 days (14-16 October). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 12/2100Z to 13/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be mostly quiet on day 1 (14 October). Conditions are forecast to increase to quiet to unsettled conditions with the chance for active periods on days 2 and 3 (15-16 October) from anticipated CH HSS effects. III.
