SOLAR STATUS
------------
SOLAR ACTIVITY FORECAST: SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW TO
MODERATE. ISOLATED M-CLASS EVENTS ARE STILL POSSIBLE FROM REGION 8955.
GEOPHYSICAL ACTIVITY FORECAST: THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD SHOULD REMAIN
PREDOMINANTLY UNSETTLED TO ACTIVE WITH OCCASIONAL MINOR STORMING AT
HIGH LATITUDES. ACTIVE CONDITIONS MAY BE PROLONGED THROUGH DAYS TWO
AND THREE BY THE ARRIVAL OF A DISTURBANCE FROM THE M4/CME EVENT
ON 15/1018UT.
