Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 08/2100Z to 09/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. Todays activity consisted of a single B2.3 x-ray event at 2017Z. The source of the event was a new region rotating around the east limb. Preliminary observations indicate the region is a B type sunspot group consisting of two small spots. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 08/2100Z to 09/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been quiet. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet for the next three days (10-12 December). III.
