Joint USAF/NOAA Solar Geophysical Activity Report and Forecast
SDF Number 308 Issued at 2200Z on 04 Nov 2014

IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 03/2100Z to
04/2100Z: Solar activity has been at high levels for the past 24 hours.
The largest solar event of the period was a M6 event observed at
03/2240Z from Region 2205 (N14E84). There are currently 7 numbered
sunspot regions on the disk.
IB.  Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is likely to be moderate
with a slight chance for an X-class flare on days one, two, and three
(05 Nov, 06 Nov, 07 Nov).

IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 03/2100Z to 04/2100Z: The geomagnetic
field has been at quiet to active levels for the past 24 hours. Solar
wind speed, as measured by the ACE spacecraft, reached a peak speed of
482 km/s at 04/2052Z. Total IMF reached 14 nT at 04/1208Z. The maximum
southward component of Bz reached -12 nT at 04/1156Z. Electrons greater
than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 264 pfu.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at quiet to active levels on day one (05 Nov) with a slight chance
for minor storm conditions, quiet to unsettled levels on day two (06
Nov) and quiet levels on day three (07 Nov). Protons have a slight
chance of crossing threshold on days one, two, and three (05 Nov, 06
Nov, 07 Nov).
