Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 01/2100Z to 02/2100Z: 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 and a slight chance for an M-class flare on days one, two, and three (03 Dec, 04 Dec, 05 Dec). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 01/2100Z to 02/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 515 km/s at 01/2350Z. Total IMF reached 6 nT at 02/0040Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -3 nT at 02/1337Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 9967 pfu. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet levels on days one and three (03 Dec, 05 Dec) and quiet to unsettled levels on day two (04 Dec). III.
