SDF Number 94 Issued at 2200Z on 04 Apr 2018

IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 03/2100Z to
04/2100Z: Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past 24
hours. There are currently 0 numbered sunspot regions on the disk.
IB.  Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low
on days one, two, and three (05 Apr, 06 Apr, 07 Apr).

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 361 km/s at 03/2106Z. Total IMF reached 5 nT at
04/0718Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -4 nT at
04/0929Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a
peak level of 1796 pfu.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at quiet to unsettled levels on days one and two (05 Apr, 06 Apr)
and quiet levels on day three (07 Apr).
