Issued: 2010 Apr 26 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 116 Issued at 2200Z on 26 Apr 2010


IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 25/2100Z
to 26/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. No flares were observed
during the past 24 hours and the disk remained spotless.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to remain
very low for the next three days (27-29 April).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 25/2100Z to 26/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was quiet during the past 24 hours.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet to unsettled with isolated active periods at
high latitudes on day 1 (27 April) due to possible effects of a CME
observed on 22 April and a coronal hole high speed stream rotating
into a geoeffective position. Quiet to unsettled conditions are
expected on day two (28 April) due to a second coronal hole high
speed stream rotating into a geoeffective position. Conditions are
expected to be quiet on day three (29 April).
