Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 04/2100Z to 05/2100Z: Solar activity was low. Region 1532 (S18W64) produced a few nominal C-class x-ray events. No CMEs were observed and no new active regions were numbered during the period. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be low for the next 3 days (6-8 August). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 04/2100Z to 05/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be mostly quiet for days 1-2 (6-7 August). Unsettled to active conditions are forecast for day 3 (8 August), due to an anticipated glancing blow from the CME on 4 August. III.
