Here is the current forecast discussion on space weather and geophysical activity, issued 2019 Aug 26 1230 UTC.
Solar Activity
24 hr Summary: Solar activity was at very low levels. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph imagery.
Forecast: Solar activity is expected to continue at very low levels on 26-28 Aug.
Energetic Particle
24 hr Summary: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux reached moderate levels. 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 26-28 Aug. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to remain at background levels.
Solar Wind
24 hr Summary: Solar wind parameters were at nominal levels. Solar wind speed ranged from approximately 300-355 km/s. Total field ranged from 2-6 nT while the Bz component was between +4/-5 nT. Phi angle was negative until 26/0248 UTC and was variable thereafter.
Forecast: Solar wind parameters are expected to become enhanced late on 26 Aug in response to the onset of a negative polarity CH HSS. Solar wind speed enhancements are expected to continue through 27 Aug and wane over 28 Aug.
Geospace
24 hr Summary: The geomagnetic field was quiet.
Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to reach unsettled to active conditions late on 26 Aug in response to the onset of influence from a CH HSS. Active conditions are expected to continue through 27 Aug and decrease to unsettled levels on 28 Aug as influence from the CH HSS wanes.

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.
