Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 19/2100Z to 20/2100Z: Solar activity was at very low levels. The visible solar disk remained spotless. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to remain at very low levels. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 19/2100Z to 20/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was at mostly quiet to unsettled levels. Solar wind speed at the ACE spacecraft began the period at around 600 km/s, and ended the period at approximately 500 km/s. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at mostly quiet to unsettled levels, with isolated active conditions possible on day one (21 February). On days two and three (22 - 23 February) activity levels are expected to decline to predominately quiet levels. III.
