| Report of Solar-Geophysical Activity Issued: 2008 May 01 2200 UTC
 Prepared jointly by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA,
 Space Weather Prediction Center and the U.S. Air Force.
 
 Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
 SDF Number 122 Issued at 2200Z on 01 May 2008
 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 30/2100Z
 to 01/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. No flares were observed
 during the past 24 hours.
 IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very
 low.
 IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 30/2100Z to 01/2100Z:
 The geomagnetic field was quiet. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux
 at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels again today.
 IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is
 expected to be quiet to unsettled on day one (02 May ). Quiet to
 unsettled conditions with isolated active periods are expected on
 days two and three (03-04 May), with isolated minor storm conditions
 possible at high latitudes, due to a recurrent coronal hole high
 speed stream.
