Moving at an estimated speed of 1950 km/s, this CME is expected to sweep up two earlier CMEs already en route. Analysts at the GSFC Space Weather Lab say the combined cloud should reach Earth on August 5th at 13:55 UT plus or minus 7 hours: "The impact on Earth is likely to be major. The estimated maximum geomagnetic activity index level Kp is 7 (Kp ranges from 0 - 9). The flanks of the CME may also impact STEREO A, Mars and Mercury/MESSENGER."

The impact on earth is likely to be major

and

The number of energetic protons around Earth has jumped nearly 100-fold as a result of this event.

That content from your 7:30 a.m. link is certainly interesting, Steve!

Please save me from having to go back to school 😆 😆 .
Can you explain what a 100-fold increase in protons around the Earth means? effects?
Just magnetic/radiation interference for telecommunications/satellites?

Or should we all stay indoors tomorrow? 😆 😆

Thanks!
Barb

Barb,

It may produce some disruptions in radio, satellite, etc
Nothing like the Carrington event, but this makes good reading.

You and others in the Northern latitudes may be in a good position to see auroras, (depending on intensity & duration)

SPACE WEATHER ADVISORY BULLETIN #11- 1
2011 August 04 at 10:58 a.m. MDT (2011 August 04 1658 UTC)

* GEOMAGNETIC STORM EXPECTED*

Space Weather Bulletin August 4, 2011

NOAA Region 1261, very active over the past few days, produced the third
of a sequence of Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) and Solar Radio Blackout
Events early today. The net effect of that activity is convergent CMEs
expected to disturb the geomagnetic field in the early hours, Universal
Time (UTC) of August 5. G3 (Strong) Geomagnetic Storm conditions are
likely as well as a distinct chance of S2 (Moderate) Solar Radiation
Storm levels being surpassed.

NOAA 1261 is still in a prime position, relative to Earth, for more
geoeffective activity in the next few days.

New Solar Cycle 24 is in its early phase now, and this level activity is
typical for this time interval. Expect increased space weather activity
over the next few years as the Sun erupts more frequently.

Data used to provide space weather services are contributed by NOAA,
USAF, NASA, NSF, USGS, the International Space Environment Services
and other observatories, universities, and institutions. More

Will keep a lookout for that...if I can stay awake past 9 p.m. 😆

Our satellite TV was on and off quite a bit on one recent occasion.

Expect increased space weather activity
over the next few years as the Sun erupts more frequently.

Such interesting stuff!
Thanks!

Barb

cool stuff. I always follow this site

Did anything happen yesterday with this CME?

Tim, Not much in the way of disruptions, but some opportunities for seeing auroras in northern latitudes.

SPACE WEATHER ADVISORY BULLETIN #11- 4
2011 September 26 at 03:00 p.m. MDT (2011 September 26 2100 UTC)

* EARLY AUTUMN GEOMAGNETIC STORM*

A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) that erupted from NOAA Active Region 1302
on Saturday September 24 in conjunction with an M7 strength solar
flare, arrived this morning at 1237 UT (8:37am Eastern Time). It has
kicked off moderate (G2) geomagnetic storms for low latitudes, but high
latitudes are seeing severe (G4) levels of activity. Aurora watchers
in Asia and Europe are most favorably positioned for this event, though
it may persist long enough for viewers in North America. The bulk of
the CME missed the Earth, meaning the storm intensity and duration are
less than what they would have been in the case of a direct hit.
Region 1302 remains capable of producing more activity and will be in a
favorable position for that activity to have impacts on Earth for the
next 3-5 days.

2012 March 6 at 9:10 a.m. MST (2012 March 6 1610 UTC)

* SPACE WEATHER OUTLOOK*

Summary For February 27-March 4

Category R1 (Minor) radio blackouts were observed on 02 and 04 <arch due to flare activity from active sunspot Region 1429.

A G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storm occurred on 27 February due to a CME passage associated with a filament eruption observed on 24 February.

Outlook For March 7-13

R1 (Minor) and R2 (Moderate), with a chance for R3 (Strong) radio blackouts are expected through 13 March.

A chance for G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storms exists on 07 March due to possible effects from a CME observed on 05 March.

Hi Steve,

activity...

Equates to increased radiation... 😕

level three on a five-step scale.

😯 😯 😯

Begins Thurs a.m. through Friday.
I'm turning off computer, satellite TV.

Thanks for the warning, Steve.

Barb

Leave the computer on 😀
Probably just some minor comm disruptions, you might be at a high enough latitude to see some Auroras.

SPACE WEATHER ADVISORY OUTLOOK #12-13

2012 March 13 at 6:32 a.m. MDT (2012 March 13 1232 UTC)

* SPACE WEATHER OUTLOOK*

Summary For March 5-11

Multiple geomagnetic storms were observed during the summary period. A category G2 (Moderate) geomagnetic storm was observed on 07 March, in response to the arrival of a CME associated with the X1/2b solar flare on 05 March. Category G1 (Minor) - G3 (Strong) geomagnetic storms were observed from 08 - 10 March, in response to the arrival of a CME, associated with the X5/3B solar flare on 07 March.

Category S1(Minor) - S3(Strong) solar radiation storms were observed 07 - 12 March due to solar activity from active sunspot Region 1429.

Category R3 (Strong) radio blackouts were observed on 05 and 07 March due to flare activity from sunspot Regions 1429 and 1430.

Outlook For March 14-20

No space weather storms are expected.

SPACE WEATHER ADVISORY OUTLOOK #12-14
2012 March 19 at 2:08 a.m. MDT (2012 March 19 0808 UTC)

* SPACE WEATHER OUTLOOK*

Summary For March 12-18

Multiple geomagnetic storms were observed during the summary period. A category G2 (Moderate) geomagnetic storm was observed on 12 March in response to the arrival a CME. Category G1 (Minor) - G2 (Moderate) geomagnetic storms were also observed on 15 March in response to the arrival of a CME.

Category S1 (Minor) - S2 (Moderate) solar radiation storms were observed from 12 - 16 March due to solar activity from old Region 1429.

Category R1 (Minor) - R2 (Moderate) radio blackouts were observed during the period. Region 1429 produced the largest event, the R2 radio blackout on 13 March. Region 1432 produced the following R1 radio blackouts on 14 and 15 March. Finally, Region 1434 produced the last R1 radio blackout on 17 March

Outlook For March 19-25

No space weather storms are expected
