The largest event= of the period was a C3.4 flare originating from Region 4446.=20 =C2=A0 There are nine numbered regions on the visible disk. Region 4452 showed notable growth and new flux emergence. Region 4450 decayed to plage, though unassociated transitory pores were obs= erved to its east and west. Region 4443 decayed into a unipolar spot as it approached the west limb fol= lowing the loss of its leading components. Regions 4453, 4454 and 4455 were numbered during the period. Far-side satellite imagery from Solar Orbiter indicates that Region 4455 is= likely a large bipolar group with its trailing opposite-polarity spots sti= ll located behind the east limb and was numbered proactively due to its fla= ring potential. All other regions either continued in slow decay or remained stable. =C2=A0 A faint, potentially partial-halo, coronal mass ejection (CME) first seen i= n LASCO C2 imagery on May 26 and subsequently in GOES/CCOR1 was analyzed. N= o obvious on-disk source exists. Modeling suggests a possible glancing blow= at Earth on May 31. Additionally, narrow eruptions associated with flaring= from newly numbered Region 4444 were seen in SUVI imagery but these featur= es are well northward of the ecliptic plane with no Earth-directed componen= ts. No other Earth-directed coronal mass ejections (CMEs) were observed in = available coronagraph imagery. =C2=A0 Solar activity is expected to be at low to moderate levels through May 30. = There remains a chance for isolated M-class flares (R1-R2/minor-moderate) d= riven by the eruptive potential of the southeast sunspot groups and newly n= umbered Region 4454. =C2=A0 Solar wind parameters remained slightly elevated and possibly indicative of= weak negative polarity coronal hole high-speed stream (-CH HSS)influences.= =20 =C2=A0 Solar wind speeds varied modestly between 350 and 425 km/s. The phi angle w= as predominantly in the negative sector (towards the Sun), though minor dev= iations were observed later in the period. =C2=A0 Solar wind parameters are expected to remain mildly enhanced due to weak co= ronal high speed stream (-CH HSS) influences through May 29.
