COMMENT: NOAA active region 1054 declined in spot number and 
magnetic complexity over the last 24 hours. Expect no more than 
B-class flares from this region for the next three days. Solar 
wind speed increased from 320 to 420 km/s over the last 24 hrs. 
Expect to observe evidence of the passage of the Earth bound 
CME, first observed early in the UT day 14 March, most likely 
during the second half of the UT day 17 March.
