Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 05/2100Z to 06/2100Z: Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past 24 hours. There are currently 4 numbered sunspot regions on the disk. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low with a chance for a C-class flares on days one, two, and three (07 Aug, 08 Aug, 09 Aug). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 05/2100Z to 06/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to unsettled levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed, as measured by the ACE spacecraft, reached a peak speed of 567 km/s at 05/2249Z. Total IMF reached 6 nT at 05/2110Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -5 nT at 05/2249Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 5207 pfu. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels on days one, two, and three (07 Aug, 08 Aug, 09 Aug). III.
