Solar wind parameters suggested a weak transient feature in the IMF. Total magnetic field strength increased to 7 nT and the Bz rotated as far south as -7 nT. Solar wind data from DSCOVR was suspect. SOHOs mtof proton monitor indicated solar wind speeds were low, around 320 km/s to perhaps 390 km/s. Phi angle was oriented in the positive sector until approximately 14/2000 UTC.

There is a 15% chance of solar activity, with a 1% chance of a minor event, a 1% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.
