SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
--------------------

             Solar activity was very low.  Region 987 (S08E08) and
       988 (S08E33) have remained fairly stable and both retain their beta
       magnetic configuration.  Region 989 (S10E62) has also been stable,
       however, it remains too close to the limb for determining the
       magnetic classification.

            Solar activity forecast:  solar activity is expected to be very
       low to low.  Region 987, 988, and 989 are capable of producing
       C-class flares.  An M-class event is possible from region 989.

            The geomagnetic field was at quiet to minor storm conditions due to
       the influence of a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream.  Solar
       wind observations at the ace spacecraft increased from an average
       around 370 km/s to a maximum of 602 at 26/1429Z.

            Geophysical activity forecast:  the geomagnetic field is
       expected to be at unsettled to active levels with isolated minor
       storm conditions for 27 march due to the coronal hole high speed
       stream.  Isolated periods of major storm conditions are possible at
       high latitudes.  Unsettled to isolated active conditions are
       expected for 28-29 march.
