Solar activity was at low levels. Region 243 (S19W60) produced the largest flare of the period, a C5.8/Sf event occurring at 05/0617 UTC. Regions 242 (S08E20) and 244 (S23E27) were responsible for several low level B and C-class flares during the period. All three of these regions slowed from previous days growth trend with little change noted in areal spot coverage or magnetic complexity during the period. A 23 degree disappearing solar filament began to erupt at approximately 05 0900 UTC with an associated CME that does not appear to have an earth-bound trajectory. A bright surge just beyond the east limb (with a radial vector of .26 degrees) occurred at 05/0727 UTC which is believed to be old returning region 226. No new regions were numbered today.

Solar activity is expected to be at low levels. Region 242 has a very slight chance of producing a low level M-class event.

The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached moderate levels today.

The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels.
