Solar activity was at very low levels. The solar disk was spotless. A possible filament, visible in SDO AIA 304 in the N hemisphere near center meridian but not visible in ground based H-Alpha, exhibited some movement between 16/0900 and 16/1300 UTC. It is difficult determine with available data if the feature was re-absorbed or if it lifted off the solar disk. Further analysis will be accomplished as data becomes available. At this time, no Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available imagery.
Solar wind parameters were near nominal levels through the period. Solar wind speed ranged from approximately 425-475 km/s. Total field averaged near 5 nT, while the Bz component varied between +/-4 nT. Phi angle was at a predominately negative orientation through the period, with periodic oscillations into a negative orientation throughout the day.
There is a 15% chance of solar activity, with a 5% chance of a minor event, a 1% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.
