SOLAR ACTIVITY HAS BEEN LOW FOR THE PAST 24 HOURS. NINE C-CLASS EVENTS OCCURRED PRIMARILY ASSOCIATED WITH REGIONS 8439 (S24E66) AND NEW REGION 8440 (N21E71). THESE REGIONS APPEAR TO BE FLARING SYMPATHETICALLY. A BRIGHT SURGE OUT TO 0.19R FROM N23E90 (BEHIND REGION 8440) WAS REPORTED BETWEEN 1914-1936 UT. ADDITIONAL SURGING ON THE EAST LIMB NEAR N20 MAY BE SIGNALING THE RETURN OF ANY OF SEVERAL REGIONS EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT 3 DAYS. THE REMAINDER OF THE LIMBS AND DISK WERE QUIET.

SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW TO MODERATE BASED ON THE FLARE POTENTIAL IN REGIONS 8439 AND 8440, AND THE LIKLIHOOD OF THE RETURN OF ACTIVE REGIONS OVER THE NORTHEAST LIMB OF THE SUN. IIA. GEOPHYSICAL ACTIVITY SUMMARY FROM 12/2100Z TO 13/2100Z: GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY HAS BEEN AT QUIET TO MINOR STORM LEVELS FOR THE PAST 24 HOURS. ACTIVITY INCREASED AFTER A SUDDEN IMPULSE AT 1055 UT. SOLAR WIND DATA FROM THE ACE SPACECRAFT SHOWED THE PASSAGE OF A SHOCK AT 0959 UT THAT WAS FOLLOWED BY ENHANCED, SOUTHWARD INTERPLANETARY MAGNETIC FIELDS (-20 NT). THIS DISTURBANCE MAY HAVE ORIGINATED ON 9 JANUARY IN ASSOCIATION WITH A FILAMENT DISAPPEARANCE IN THE NORTH CENTER OF THE SUN AND/OR A LONG-DURATION C1 X-RAY EVENT. THE GREATER THAN 2 MEV ELECTRON FLUX LEVELS AT GEOSYNCHRONOUS ORBIT, WHICH ATTAINED HIGH LEVELS ON 12 JANUARY, FELL BELOW EVENT THRESHOLD AT 12/1835 UT.

THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS EXPECTED TO BE PRIMARILY UNSETTLED TO ACTIVE FOR THE NEXT THREE DAYS WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF OCCASIONAL MINOR STORM CONDITIONS TOMORROW AS TODAY'S TRANSIENT SOLAR WIND EVENT COMPLETES ITS PASSAGE BEYOND EARTH.
