Solar activity has been high. Regions 1164 (N24W59), 1165 (S20W78), and 1166 (N11E12) produced M-class events during the past 24 hours, all of which contain a Beta-Gamma-Delta magnetic configuration. Region 1166 produced a M1/Sf observed at 07/1430Z with an associated Type II and Type IV radio sweep. Region 1164 produced a M3 at 07/2012Z with an associated Type II radio sweep and a Tenflare that was in progress at this report time. The SOHO/LASCO imagery observed a full halo CME (a further analysis is underway). Images from the C2 first observed the CME at 07/1448Z while the C3 imagery first observed the event at 07/1518Z. The Penticton 10.7 cm flux and the 90 day mean are estimated for today (07 March) due to flare enhanced readings.

Solar activity is expected to be moderate on day one (08 March) with M-class events expected. Solar activity for days two and three (09-10 March) are expected to be low with a chance for an M-class event as Regions 1165 and 1164 transit around the west limb.

The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels during the period.

The geomagnetic field is expected to be predominantly quiet for the next three days (08-10 March).
