Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 20/2100Z to 21/2100Z: 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 with a chance for a C-class flares on day one (22 Feb) and expected to be very low with a chance for a C-class flares and a slight chance for an M-class flare on days two and three (23 Feb, 24 Feb). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 20/2100Z to 21/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to active levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 570 km/s at 21/0905Z. Total IMF reached 15 nT at 20/2321Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -8 nT at 21/2027Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 841 pfu. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to active levels on days one and three (22 Feb, 24 Feb) and unsettled to minor storm levels on day two (23 Feb). III.
