Here is the current forecast discussion on space weather and geophysical activity, issued 2020 Feb 26 1230 UTC.

Solar Activity

24 hr Summary: Solar activity was very low with a spotless visible disk. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available satellite imagery.

Forecast: Solar activity is expected to remain very low on 26-28 Feb.

Energetic Particles

24 hr Summary: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux reached moderate levels. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux remained at background values.

Forecast: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected reach moderate levels on 26-28 Feb. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to continue at background values.

Solar Wind

24 hr Summary: Solar wind parameters remained at mostly background levels. Solar wind speeds fluctuated between 335-365 km/s, total field averaged between 3-7 nT, Bz ranged from -3 to 5 nT, and Phi angle was mostly negative.

Forecast: Minor enhancements in the solar wind environment are possible on 26 Feb due to potential interaction with a south polar extension CH HSS.

Geospace

24 hr Summary: The geomagnetic field was quiet.

Forecast: The geomagnetic field may become elevated to unsettled levels on 26 Feb if a south polar extension CH HSS becomes geoeffective. Otherwise quiet conditions are expected through 28 Feb.
