Here is the current forecast discussion on space weather and geophysical activity, issued 2019 Jun 16 1230 UTC.
Solar Activity
24 hr Summary: Solar activity was very low. The solar disk remained spotless. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available satellite imagery.
Forecast: Solar activity is expected to remain at very low levels on 16-18 Jun.
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 16-18 Jun. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to continue at background levels.
Solar Wind
24 hr Summary: Solar wind parameters were at nominal levels with wind speeds ranging from 331-393 km/s. Total field ranged from 1-6 nT while the Bz component was between +/-3 nT. Phi angle was oriented in a mostly positive (away) solar sector.
Forecast: Solar wind parameters are expected to remain at nominal levels until late on 16 Jun when enhancements are expected due to negative polarity CH HSS influence. An enhanced solar wind environment is expected through the remainder of the forecast period (17-18 Jun).
Geospace
24 hr Summary: The geomagnetic field was at quiet levels.
Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be mostly quiet for a majority of 16 Jun with unsettled intervals late due to onset of a negative polarity CH HSS. For 17-18 Jun, quiet to unsettled conditions are expected with isolated active periods possible due to negative polarity CH HSS influence.

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.
