Solar Activity
Solar activity continued at moderate levels with additional M-class flares observed. The first was an M1.1/2n flare at 23/1607 UTC, produced by Region 3901 (S07W07, Cao/beta-gamma). The second event was an M1.1 flare that originated from just beyond the NE limb at 23/1810 UTC, along with a few C-class flares. No obvious CMEs were associated with either of these events. Shortly following the second M-flare, Region 3898 (S15W69, Cao/beta) produced a C5.4 flare at 23/1920 UTC. Coronal dimming was observed in SUVI 195 imagery that correlates to a CME first observed in LASCO C2 imagery at 23/1924 UTC. Limited imagery is available at this time, but a thorough analysis will be conducted as information becomes available to determine if there is an Earth-directed component. Region 3898 was also responsible for several other C-class flares as it made its way towards the west limb.
Solar Wind
Solar wind parameters reflected weak, negative polarity CH HSS influence. Solar wind speeds ranged +/- 25 km/s of 400 km/s. Total field was primarily 7-8 nT, and the Bz component underwent a handful of southward deflections, reaching a minimum of -8 nT. Phi was predominantly negative.
Energetic Particle
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux was at normal to moderate levels. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux returned to background levels.
