Here is the current forecast discussion on space weather and geophysical activity, issued 2018 Aug 10 1230 UTC.
Solar Activity
24 hr Summary: Solar activity was very low with a spotless disk. There were no Earth-directed CMEs observed in available satellite imagery.
Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low on 10-12 Aug.
Energetic Particle
24 hr Summary: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux was at normal levels while 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 levels on 10-12 Aug while the greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to remain at background levels throughout the forecast period.
Solar Wind
24 hr Summary: Solar wind parameters reflected a nominal environment.
Forecast: A nominal solar wind environment is expected to persist for days one and two (10-11 Aug). An enhancement is expected early on day one (12 Aug) in response to a CIR in advance of a recurrent, equatorial, negative polarity CH HSS.
Geospace
24 hr Summary: The geomagnetic field was quiet.
Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to remain quiet for the next two days (10-11 Aug). By day three (12 Aug), quiet to unsettled levels are likely in response to negative polarity CH HSS influence.
