Here is the current forecast discussion on space weather and geophysical activity, issued 2019 Jul 05 1230 UTC.
Solar Activity
24 hr Summary: Solar activity was very low with a spotless visible disk. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed.
Forecast: Solar activity is expected to continue at very low levels on 05-07 Jul.
Energetic Particles
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 levels.
Forecast: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to continue at normal levels on 05 Jul and increase to moderate levels on 06-07 Jul due to CH HSS influences. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to maintain background levels all three days.
Solar Wind
24 hr Summary: Solar wind parameters were at nominal levels through 04/1745 UTC when a brief change in phi from a positive to a negative sector was observed. Associated with this change was an increase in density coupled with a weak discontinuity in Bt and Bz. Phi angle rotated back to a positive sector at 04/1822 UTC, then returned to the negative sector at 04/2038 UTC, where it remained through the end of the period. Over the period, solar wind speed increased just above 400 km/s, total field ranged from 3-7 nT and the Bz component varied between +7 to -4 nT.
Forecast: Solar wind parameters are anticipated to become further enhanced due to the onset of a negative polarity, CH HSS. Elevated conditions are expected to wane over the course of 06 Jul, and return to ambient-like conditions by 07 Jul.
Geospace
24 hr Summary: The geomagnetic field was at quiet levels.
Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to increase to unsettled to active levels by late 05 Jul, as a negative polarity CH HSS moves into geoeffective position. Unsettled conditions are expected to continue through 06 Jul before decreasing to mostly quiet levels by 07 Jul.

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.
