Here is the current forecast discussion on space weather and geophysical activity, issued 2019 May 27 1230 UTC.
Solar Activity
24 hr Summary: Solar activity remained very low with a spotless visible disk. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available satellite imagery.
Forecast: Solar activity is expected to remain at very low levels on 27-29 May.
Energetic Particle
24 hr Summary: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux was at normal to moderate levels while the greater than 10 MeV proton flux remained at background levels.
Forecast: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to be at normal to moderate levels on 27-28 May increasing to moderate to high levels on 29 May due to effects from a CH HSS. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to continue at background levels.
Solar Wind
24 hr Summary: Solar wind parameters were consistent with weak transient influence beginning near 26/2130 UTC. Wind speeds briefly peaked at approximately 380 km/s. Total field increased to a maximum of 12 nT and prolonged periods of southward Bz were observed. Phi was variable.
Forecast: Slightly enhanced conditions are expected to continue on 27 May. Enhancements in the solar wind are forecasted beginning on 28 May through 29 May due to anticipated influence from a recurrent, negative polarity CH HSS.
Geospace
24 hr Summary: The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels.
Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to remain at mostly quiet levels on 27 May. By 28 May through 29 May, field conditions are expected to increase to unsettled to active levels due to the anticipated influence of recurrent, negative polarity CH HSSs.

Space Weather and Ham Radio YouTube Channel News:
I am working on launching a YouTube channel overhaul, that includes series of videos about space weather, radio signal propagation, and more.
Additionally, I am working on improving the educational efforts via the email, Facebook, YouTube, Tumblr, and other activities.
