:Product: 0501RSGA.txt :Issued: 2008 May 01 2203 UTC # Prepared jointly by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, # Space Weather Prediction Center and the U.S. Air Force. # Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity SDF Number 122 Issued at 2200Z on 01 May 2008 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 30/2100Z to 01/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. No flares were observed during the past 24 hours. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 30/2100Z to 01/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels again today. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled on day one (02 May ). Quiet to unsettled conditions with isolated active periods are expected on days two and three (03-04 May), with isolated minor storm conditions possible at high latitudes, due to a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream.
