IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 03/2100Z to
04/2100Z: Solar activity has been at high levels for the past 24 hours.
The largest solar event of the period was a M9 event observed at
04/0619Z from Region 3663 (N26W16). There are currently 7 numbered
sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be moderate
with a chance for X-class flares on days one, two, and three (05 May, 06
May, 07 May).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 03/2100Z to 04/2100Z: The geomagnetic
field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed
reached a peak of 420 km/s at 03/2319Z. Total IMF reached 6 nT at
04/2022Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -3 nT at
04/2058Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached
a peak level of 136 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at quiet to minor storm levels on day one (05 May), unsettled to
major storm levels on day two (06 May) and quiet to active levels on day
three (07 May). Protons have a slight chance of crossing threshold on
days one, two, and three (05 May, 06 May, 07 May).
