Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 304 Issued at 2200Z on 31 Oct 2011
IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from  30/2100Z
to 31/2100Z:  Solar activity was moderate during the period. A new
region that has not yet emerged around the east limb produced a pair
of M1 flares at 31/1508Z and 31/1808Z. A CME associated with the
first of the two events was visible in NASA SOHO LASCO C2 imagery as
well as on STEREO A, but appears not be a Earth directed trajectory.
IB.  Solar Activity Forecast:  Solar activity is forecast to moderate
with M-class flares likely to reoccur over the next 3 days (1-3
November).
IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 30/2100Z to 31/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled during the period as
waning CH HSS effects lingered.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast:  The geomagnetic field is
forecast to be mostly quiet for the next 3 days (1-3 November).
