Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 12/2100Z to 13/2100Z: Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past 24 hours. There are currently 2 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 (14 Sep, 15 Sep) and expected to be very low with a slight chance for a C-class flare on day three (16 Sep). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 12/2100Z to 13/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to unsettled levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 520 km/s at 13/1612Z. Total IMF reached 9 nT at 13/0247Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -7 nT at 13/0543Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 392 pfu. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels on day one (14 Sep) and quiet levels on days two and three (15 Sep, 16 Sep). III.
