Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 16/2100Z to 17/2100Z: Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past 24 hours. There are currently 1 numbered sunspot regions on the disk. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low on days one, two, and three (18 May, 19 May, 20 May). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 16/2100Z to 17/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to unsettled levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 473 km/s at 17/0046Z. Total IMF reached 7 nT at 16/2136Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -4 nT at 16/2218Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 750 pfu. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet levels on days one and two (18 May, 19 May) and quiet to unsettled levels on day three (20 May). III.
