Joint USAF/NOAA Solar Geophysical Activity Report and Forecast
SDF Number 128 Issued at 2200Z on 08 May 2018

IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 07/2100Z to
08/2100Z: Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past 24
hours. There are currently 2 numbered sunspot regions on the disk.
IB.  Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low
with a slight chance for a C-class flare on day one (09 May) and
expected to be very low on days two and three (10 May, 11 May).

IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 07/2100Z to 08/2100Z: The geomagnetic
field has been at quiet to active levels for the past 24 hours. Solar
wind speed reached a peak of 743 km/s at 08/2048Z. Total IMF reached 9
nT at 08/0358Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -7 nT at
08/0420Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a
peak level of 26784 pfu.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at quiet to active levels on day one (09 May), quiet to unsettled
levels on day two (10 May) and quiet levels on day three (11 May).
