Here is the current forecast discussion on space weather and geophysical activity, issued 2020 Feb 14 1230 UTC.
Solar Activity
24 hr Summary: Solar activity was very low and the visible disk remained spotless. Analysis of SOHO/LASCO coronagraph imagery did not identify any CME associated with the DSF centered near S43E03 that took place between 13/0000 to 13/14000 UTC.
Forecast: Very low solar activity is expected to continue 14-16 Feb.
Energetic Particle
24 hr Summary: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux was normal to moderate and the greater than 10 MeV proton flux maintained background values.
Forecast: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to to continue at normal to moderate levels 14-16 Feb and the greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to remain at background.
Solar Wind
24 hr Summary: Solar wind parameters were indicative of a slow solar wind regime and likely proximity to the heliospheric current sheet. Total IMF strength was less than 5 nT and the Bz component underwent only weak deviations. Solar wind speed averaged mainly from 325-350 km/s. The phi angle varied between sectors.
Forecast: A slow solar wind regime is expected to continue 14-16 Feb.
Geospace
24 hr Summary: The geomagnetic field was quiet.
Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to remain primarily quiet 14-16 Feb.
