:Product: 0528RSGA.txt :Issued: 2017 May 28 2200 UTC # Prepared jointly by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, # Space Weather Prediction Center and the U.S. Air Force. # Joint USAF/NOAA Solar Geophysical Activity Report and Forecast SDF Number 148 Issued at 2200Z on 28 May 2017 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 27/2100Z to 28/2100Z: Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. The largest solar event of the period was a C3 event observed at 28/1928Z from Region 2659 (N13W70). There are currently 1 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 and two (29 May, 30 May) and expected to be very low with a slight chance for a C-class flare on day three (31 May). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 27/2100Z to 28/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to severe storm levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 463 km/s at 27/2243Z. Total IMF reached 23 nT at 27/2222Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -20 nT at 27/2222Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 641 pfu. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to active levels on day one (29 May) and quiet levels on days two and three (30 May, 31 May). III.
