Additional Comments

Geomagnetic activity is anticipated to be mostly QUIET, with some ACTIVE periods towards the end of this forecast period should a small coronal hole become geoeffective.
A filament lift off was observed on 19-Dec. Any Coronal Mass Ejection associated with this event is anticipated to be directed mostly South of the Earth, therefore we are not expecting any impact.
