Here is the current forecast discussion on space weather and geophysical activity, issued 2019 Dec 31 1230 UTC.
Solar Activity
24 hr Summary: Solar activity was very low this period. There were no active regions. No Earth-directed CMEs were detected in available coronagraph imagery.
Forecast: Solar activity is expected to continue at very low levels on 31 Dec - 02 Jan.
Energetic Particle
24 hr Summary: Both the greater than 2 MeV electron flux and the greater than 10 MeV proton flux were below event thresholds throughout the period.
Forecast: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to be at normal to moderate levels, while the greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to persist at background levels throughout the forecast period (31 Dec - 02 Jan).
Solar Wind
24 hr Summary: Solar wind parameters were at background levels this period.
Forecast: Weak, negative polarity CH HSS effects are anticipated for the next few days (31 Dec - 02 Jan), which will likely result in elevated solar wind parameters.
Geospace
24 hr Summary: The geomagnetic field was at quiet levels.
Forecast: Quiet to unsettled conditions are likely on 31 Dec and 01 Jan due to weak, negative polarity CH HSS influence.
