SDF Number 004 Issued at 2200Z on 04 Jan 2010
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 03/2100Z
to 04/2100Z: Solar activity was low. Region 1039 (S28W72) produced
one C-class flare during the forecast period. This region remains a
D-type sunspot group with a beta magnetic classification.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low. There is a likely chance of a C-class flare from Region
1039.
