# FAST WARNING 'PRESTO' MESSAGE  from the SIDC (RWC-Belgium)         #
#--------------------------------------------------------------------#
A halo CME occurred yesterday at 14:12 (LASCO-C2). This event is backsided and not expected to arrive to the Earth. A previous slow CME (12:00 UT, 250 km/s) was in the field of view of LASCO-C2 when the second one started, CACTus merged these two events and emitted an alert as a full halo CME.
The second CME had an angular width of 100 degrees, originated from a filament eruption close to the eastern limb and was mostly directed to the south-east, but a glancing blow at the Earth cannot be discarded late on January 10. Due to the slow speed of this CME not more than active conditions should be expected.

CCMC Rules of the Road: CCMC requests that users notify the CCMC, CME model/technique developers and submitting forecasters/researchers before performing event and validation studies with data from the CME Arrival Time Scoreboard. It is recommended that such studies be performed with the knowledge and collaboration of developers and submitting forecasters/researchers.

If you are looking for the official U.S. Government forecast for space weather, please go to NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center (https://swpc.noaa.gov). This "Experimental Research Information" consists of preliminary NASA research products and should be interpreted and used accordingly.
