SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS LOW. THE LARGEST EVENT WAS A C9/2F FROM REGION 9002 (N20W37). THIS REGION, DESPITE OBVIOUS DECAY IN WHITE LIGHT, EMERGED AS THE MOST ACTIVE REGION ON THE VISIBLE DISK AND PRODUCED SEVERAL SMALL FLARES DURING THE LATTER HALF OF THE PERIOD. A SPOTLESS, UNNUMBERED REGION NEAR N07W05 PRODUCED A C5/1N AT 23/1106Z. REGION 8996 (S20W77) CONTINUES TO BE QUITE ACTIVE, BUT ALL FLARE ACTIVITY WAS IN THE LOW C-CLASS CATEGORY. REGION 9004 (N12W48) EXHIBITED LITTLE CHANGE IN SIZE BUT DEVELOPED INCREASED MAGNETIC COMPLEXITY AND PRODUCED A C5/SF AT 23/1945Z.

SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE AT LOW TO MODERATE LEVELS. REGIONS 8996, 9002 AND 9004 MAY PRODUCE AN ISOLATED M-CLASS FLARE.

THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS AT QUIET TO ACTIVE LEVELS. QUIET TO UNSETTLED CONDITIONS PRECEDED A WEAK SHOCK OBSERVED AT ACE AT 23/1625Z. THE ACE SIGNATURE WAS CONSISTENT WITH A GEOEFFECTIVE TRANSIENT THAT LIKELY ORIGINATED FROM THE C7/1N FLARE AND CME AT 20/0535Z. BZ INITIALLY WENT NORTHWARD, BUT QUICKLY TURNED SOUTHWARD AT 23/1830Z REACHING NEAR -20NT AND RESULTING IN MINOR STORMING AT HIGH LATITUDES. BZ RETURNED TO MORE NOMINAL CONDITIONS BY END OF PERIOD.

THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS EXPECTED TO BE AT UNSETTLED TO MINOR STORM LEVELS. ACTIVE TO MINOR STORM LEVELS ARE LIKELY THROUGH DAY ONE FOLLOWING TODAY'S SHOCK ARRIVAL. MOSTLY QUIET TO UNSETTLED CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL THROUGH DAYS 2 AND 3.
