The last 24 hours on the Earth facing disc shows no sunspots, no plasma instability, no nothing really at all. The solar wind has stabilized and the Planetary K-index has dropped down off of the charts. There's not even an incoming coronal hole to worry about right now, so we shouldn't see too many magnitude 6+ earthquakes of volcanic eruptions for the next couple of days. There is a large bright spot coming around onto the Earth facing-disc and behind it is the next coronal hole. In about a day or so, we'll see whether this bright spot can keep it together against the Earth Facing Quiet and the solar minimum.
