A C1.3 flare was also observed by GOES peaking at 11:06 UT on January 4. Solar activity is expected to remain at C flare level, with a slight chance for an M flare. On January 4, the solar wind speed and IMF measured by ACE have returned to about 350 km/s and 5 nT, respectively. Geomagnetic conditions were quiet and will likely remain quiet before the second part of January 6. Around that time, active conditions are possible with a chance for a minor storm due to the expected effects of a high speed wind stream associated with an equatorial coronal hole.
