Here is the current forecast discussion on space weather and geophysical activity, issued 2018 Aug 03 1230 UTC.

Solar Activity

24 hr Summary: Solar activity was very low. No Earth directed CMEs were observed in coronagraph imagery.

Forecast: Solar activity is expected to remain very low all three days (3-5 Aug).

Energetic Particle

24 hr Summary: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux decreased to normal levels and the greater than 10 MeV proton flux continued at background values.

Forecast: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to be at normal to moderate levels all three days. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to remain at background levels all three days.

Solar Wind

24 hr Summary: Solar wind parameters were at nominal levels. Solar wind speeds remained below 400 km/s. Total field and Bz were at benign values. Phi was variable, but ended the period in a positive orientation.

Forecast: Nominal levels are expected to persist through day one. An enhancement from a CIR/CH HSS is expected for days two and three.

Geospace

24 hr Summary: The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled.

Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to remain mostly quiet on day one. Quiet to unsettled conditions are expected on days two and three due to influences from a CH HSS.
