Solar activity was low. Region 9218 (N19E26) produced several minor C-class events. Region 9218 (N19E26) grew significantly in area since yesterday but maintained a simple beta magnetic configuration. An EPL occurred on the northwest limb at approximately 02/1744Z. Further analysis is required as data becomes available. SOHO/LASCO imagery indicated an earth-directed full halo CME from a filament eruption east of Region 9214 yesterday at approximately S17E39. The CME was first visible above the SE limb at 01/1626Z. The imagery suggests most of the material and energy associated with the CME is directed to the southeast. However, evidence of a weak full halo is clear. No new regions were numbered today.

Solar activity is expected to be low to moderate.

The geomagnetic field was quiet.

The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled the first day. Due to the expected arrival of the earth-directed full halo CME mentioned above, active conditions are expected on the second day of the period. Minor storm levels are possible in the higher latitudes. The geomagnetic field is expected to decrease to predominantly unsettled conditions toward the end of the period.
