Joint USAF/NOAA Solar Geophysical Activity Report and Forecast
SDF Number 250 Issued at 2200Z on 07 Sep 2017

IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 06/2100Z to
07/2100Z: Solar activity has been at high levels for the past 24 hours.
The largest solar event of the period was a X1 event observed at
07/1436Z from Region 2673 (S09W58). There are currently 5 numbered
sunspot regions on the disk.
IB.  Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be moderate
with a chance for X-class flares on days one, two, and three (08 Sep, 09
Sep, 10 Sep).

IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 06/2100Z to 07/2100Z: The geomagnetic
field has been at quiet to active levels for the past 24 hours. Solar
wind speed reached a peak of 666 km/s at 07/1156Z. Total IMF reached 16
nT at 07/0015Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -10 nT at
07/0600Z. Protons greater than 10 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a
peak level of 352 pfu at 07/0410Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at
geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 5443 pfu.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at active to severe storm levels on days one and two (08 Sep, 09
Sep) and active to minor storm levels on day three (10 Sep). Protons are
expected to cross threshold on days one and two (08 Sep, 09 Sep) and are
expected to cross threshold on day three (10 Sep).
