Here is the current forecast discussion on space weather and geophysical activity, issued 2019 May 29 1230 UTC.
Solar Activity
24 hr Summary: Solar activity remained very low. A small region formed over night near N11W09, and will be considered for classification and numbering over the course of the next period barring decay. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available satellite imagery
Forecast: Solar activity is expected to remain at very low levels on 29-31 May.
Energetic Particle
24 hr Summary: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux was at normal 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 29 May, then increase to moderate to high levels on 30-31 May with elevated solar wind speeds. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to continue at background levels.
Solar Wind
24 hr Summary: Solar wind parameters became enhanced over the course of the period with the arrival of a negative polarity CH HSS. Total field fluctuated between 5-12 nT, and the Bz component ranged from 9 to -10 nT. Wind speeds increased from around 350 km/s to peaks reaching 550 km/s. Phi angle was predominately in a negative orientation.
Forecast: The solar wind environment is expected to remain enhanced with influences from recurrent, negative polarity CH HSSs over the next two days (29-30 May). A return to near-background conditions is expected by 31 May as CH HSS influences wane.
Geospace
24 hr Summary: The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels, with an isolated active period.
Forecast: Field conditions are expected to be at unsettled to active levels due to recurrent, negative polarity CH HSS activity over the next two days (29-30 May). Quiet to unsettled conditions are anticipated on 31 May as CH HSS activity decreases.

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.
