SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS MODERATE. THE LARGEST X-RAY FLARE WAS AN OPTICALLY UNCORRELATED M1 EVENT AT 23/2316Z. THE BACKGROUND X-RAY FLUX REMAINED ABOVE C-LEVEL THRESHOLDS FOR NEARLY THE ENTIRE PERIOD WITH FREQUENT IMBEDDED C-CLASS FLARES. OVER TWENTY OPTICAL FLARES WERE REPORTED, NEARLY ALL OF THEM FROM THE EXTENSIVE CLUSTER OF GROUPS IN THE NE QUADRANT. TWO DISAPPEARING FILAMENTS WERE SEEN. THE FIRST OCCURRED AT APPROXIMATELY 24/1200Z; IT ORIGINATED NEAR REGION 8595 (N23W21) AND WAS ACCOMPANIED BY A CLASSIC HYDER TYPE FLARE AND NEARLY THREE HOURS OF ENHANCED X-RAY FLUX LEVELS. THE SECOND FILAMENT DISAPPEARED AT APPROXIMATELY 24/1830Z FROM AN AREA NEAR REGION 8598 (N23E28). IT WAS ACCOMPANIED BY OPTICAL FLARES NEAR THE FILAMENT FOOTPOINTS AND APPROXIMATELY NINETY MINUTES OF ENHANCED X-RAY FLUX. THREE NEW REGIONS WERE NUMBERED TODAY; THEY ARE REGIONS 8604 (N12W54), 8605 (S22W32), AND 8606 (N17E33).

SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW TO MODERATE. CONSIDERABLE ACTIVITY AND MAGNETIC COMPLEXITY CURRENTLY SEEN IN THE NE GROUP CLUSTER INCREASES THE PROBABILITY OF STRONG FLARE ACTIVITY OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.

THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD HAS BEEN MOSTLY QUIET.

THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS EXPECTED TO BE UNSETTLED TO ACTIVE WITH A CHANCE FOR MINOR STORMING THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD. FLARE ASSOCIATED CMES, WHICH OCCURRED ON 22/1829Z AND 23/0709Z, ARE EXPECTED TO ARRIVE OVER THE FIRST TWO DAYS. TODAY'S EARLY DISAPPEARING FILAMENT SHOULD ARRIVE LATE ON THE THIRD DAY.
