Solar Update - Several B-Class flares have taken place around Sunspots 1101 and 1105 in the past 24 hours. Sunspot 1105 located in the northern hemisphere continued to grow and there may soon be a chance for a C-Class flare.

A CME took place on Saturday, but was a limb event. This will have no impact on earth.

Prepared jointly by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, Space Weather Prediction Center and the U.S. Air Force. Updated 2010 Sep 04 2201 UTC Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity SDF Number 247 Issued at 2200Z on 04 Sep 2010 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 03/2100Z to 04/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. Regions 1105 (N18W36) and 1101 (N12W70) produced several B-class x-ray events during the period. The largest event, an impulsive B6 flare, occurred at 04/07Z. A filament was observed on SDO AIA 193 lifting from the north west quadrant at 04/1430Z. A limb event CME was visible in SOHO LASCO C3 shortly after with an estimated speed of 368 km/s. The same event was visible on the STEREO-A coronagraph and produced a partial halo in the southeast quadrant. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is forecast to be low with C-class flares likely for the next 3 days (5-7 September). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 03/2100Z to 04/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is forecast to be quiet to unsettled with the chance for active conditions for the next 3 days (5-7 September) due to recurrent coronal hole effects.
