IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from  10/2100Z
to 11/2100Z:  Solar activity was very low. Region 1040 (N29E10)
produced numerous B-class flares during the past 24 hours; the
largest of these was a B9 flare at 11/1356Z. Region 1040 showed
continued growth in areal coverage (300 millionths) and was
classified as a Dhc-beta group with 25 spots.
IB.  Solar Activity Forecast:  Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low. There is a slight chance for an insolated M-class flare
from Region 1040.
IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 10/2100Z to 11/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled. Solar wind observations
from the ACE spacecraft indicated the onset of a co-rotating
interaction region around 11/0844Z. Solar wind velocity increased
from around 357 km/s to a max of 542 km/s at around 11/1540Z. The
interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) activity showed an enhancement
of total field of 14 nT, and the southern component of the IMF
ranged between +10 nT and -9 nT.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast:  The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet, with isolated unsettled levels for the next
two days (12-13 January) due to a coronal hole high-speed stream.
Quiet levels are expected on day three (14 January).
