Here is the current forecast discussion on space weather and geophysical activity, issued 2018 Jun 10 1230 UTC.
Solar Activity
24 hr Summary: A spotless solar disk kept solar activity at very low levels. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph imagery.
Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be at very low levels over the next three days (10-12 Jun).
Energetic Particles
24 hr Summary: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux reached high levels this period with a peak flux of 1,940 pfu observed at 09/2115 UTC. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux was steady at background levels throughout the period.
Forecast: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to reach high levels on day one (10 Jun), then decrease to moderate levels on days two and three (11-12 Jun). The greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to persist at background levels throughout the forecast period.
Solar Wind
24 hr Summary: Solar wind parameters, as measured by the DSCOVR spacecraft, reflected nominal conditions. Solar wind speeds were between 320-360 km/s. Total field was below 5 nT. Phi was variable.
Forecast: The solar wind environment is expected to be at or near background levels on days one and two (10-11 Jun). Weak enhancements from a negative polarity coronal hole are likely on day three (12 Jun).
Geospace
24 hr Summary: The geomagnetic field was quiet.
Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to remain quiet on days one and two (10-11 Jun). Weak influence from a coronal hole will likely cause periods of unsettled activity on day three (12 Jun).

HOW CAN YOU HELP?
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.
You can help!
