Here is the current forecast discussion on space weather and geophysical activity, issued 2019 Feb 11 1230 UTC.
Solar Activity
24 hr Summary: Solar activity was very low. The solar disk was spotless and no Earth-directed CMEs were observed.
Forecast: Solar activity is expected to continue at very low levels on 11-13 Feb.
Energetic Particle
24 hr Summary: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux reached high levels with a peak flux of 2,670 pfu observed at 10/1920 UTC. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux was at background levels.
Forecast: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to reach moderate to high levels on 11-13 Feb and the greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to persist at background levels.
Solar Wind
24 hr Summary: Solar wind parameters remained slightly elevated through the first half of the period under waning CH HSS influence. Winds speeds ranged between 400 to 450 km/s through about 11/0000 UTC, but declined to end the period near 375 km/s.
Forecast: Solar wind parameters are expected to be at nominal levels for the remainder of 11 Feb, but become enhanced on 12-13 Feb under the anticipated influence of a negative polarity, south-polar connected CH HSS.
Geospace
24 hr Summary: The geomagnetic field was at quiet levels under waning CH HSS influence.
Forecast: Quiet conditions are expected to persist for the remainder of 11 Feb with the return of a nominal solar wind regime. Quiet to unsettled conditions are expected on 12-13 Feb due to the influence of a negative polarity, south polar-connected CH HSS.

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.
