Here is the current forecast discussion on space weather and geophysical activity, issued 2020 Mar 07 1230 UTC.

Solar Activity

24 hr Summary: Solar activity was very low. An area of plage developed in the SW quadrant. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph imagery.

Forecast: Very low solar activity is expected to continue 07-09 Mar.

Energetic Particle

24 hr Summary: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux was normal to moderate and the greater than 10 MeV proton flux remained at background values.

Forecast: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to continue at normal to moderate levels 07-09 Mar and the greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to remain at background.

Solar Wind

24 hr Summary: Solar wind parameters, as measured by the DSCOVR spacecraft, were at or slightly above background conditions. Total magnetic field strength ranged from 4-9 nT. The Bz component remained above -5 nT. Solar wind speeds were between 313-394 km/s. Phi angle was variable.

Forecast: A slow regime is expected to continue 07-09 Mar. Minor enhancements are possible due to HCS proximity and potential connections to the negative, southern polar crown coronal hole.

Geospace

24 hr Summary: The geomagnetic field was quiet.

Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be primarily quiet 07-09 Mar, with isolated unsettled periods likely due to potential interactions with the current sheet and the southern polar crown coronal hole.
