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

             Solar activity was very low. No flares occurred
       during the past day. A fifteen degree section of filament,
       centered near S45W00, disappeared sometime between 25/2300Z
       and 26/1100Z. This eruption was not observed optically.
       Operators of the Yohkoh soft x-ray telescope report a possible
       post-eruption signature of bright cusp-shaped structures.

            Solar activity forecast:  solar activity is expected to be
       very low. A general trend towards increased activity is expected
       over the next few days as new regions rotate into view at the
       southeast limb.

            The geomagnetic field was unsettled to active at middle
       latitudes and active to storm at high latitudes. The most
       disturbed periods occurred from 26/0900-1500Z.

            Geophysical activity forecast:  the geomagnetic field is
       expected to be unsettled to active becoming quiet to unsettled.

                        Major-Severe Storm    15/15/20

            HF propagation conditions began the day below normal over
       the polar, high, and upper middle latitudes due to enhanced
       levels of geomagnetic and auroral activity.  The lower middle
       and low latitude paths remained near-normal throughout the
       period.  Conditions are expected to slowly improve over the
       next 72 hours to near-normal.
