Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity ::::::::::CORRECTED COPY::::::::::

SDF Number 157 Issued at 2200Z on 06 Jun 2006 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 05/2100Z to 06/2100Z: Solar activity continues at very low levels. No new growth was observed in Region 892 (S07E41), and the region appears to have simplified. New Region 893 (S03E64) was numbered today.

IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low. There is a slight chance for a C-class flare.

IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 05/2100Z to 06/2100Z:

The geomagnetic field ranged from quiet to minor storm levels. A large recurrent coronal hole is rotating into a geoeffective position.

Periods of sustained southward IMF Bz resulted in the most disturbed periods.

IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to range from quiet to minor storm levels. A large coronal hole is rotating into a geoeffective position and is expected to produce occasional active to minor storm periods over the next two days. Quiet to unsettled conditions are expected on 09 June.
