Here is the current forecast discussion on space weather and geophysical activity, issued 2020 Sep 08 1230 UTC.
Solar Activity
24 hr Summary: Solar activity was very low. No sunspots or Earth-directed CMEs were observed.
Forecast: Solar activity is expected to continue at very low levels on 08-10 Sep.
Energetic Particle
24 hr Summary: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux reached high levels this period, with a peak flux of 10,200 pfu observed at 07/1600 UTC. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux was steady at background levels.
Forecast: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to reach high levels on 08-10 Sep and the greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to persist at background levels throughout the forecast period.
Solar Wind
24 hr Summary: Solar wind parameters were at background levels. Total field ranged from 2-5 nT and Bz was unremarkable. Wind speeds fell from ~370 km/s to ~320 km/s by periods end. The phi angle was in a positive solar sector.
Forecast: Solar wind parameters are expected to persist at background levels on 08-10 Sep.
Geospace
24 hr Summary: The geomagnetic field was quiet.
Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet on 08-10 Sep.
