# FAST WARNING 'PRESTO' MESSAGE  from the SIDC (RWC-Belgium)         #
#--------------------------------------------------------------------#
A partial halo CME was observed with first measurements in SOHO-LASCO/C2 around 19h36 UT on February 5. The CME was rather faint, but with an estimated angular width of about 120 degrees (CACTus currently estimated it into different pieces). The CME is propagating in the Southwest direction. The CME is associated with the eruption of a small filament near S20W20 (SDO/AIA 304 and GONG images) and seems to have an Earth directed component. Further analysis will need to reveal its speed and estimated effects on the Earth environment. 

Before the above mentioned eruption, two other small filaments disappeared as well (starting around 3h UT near S00W40 and one around 18h25 UT near S00E05). The first eruption did only result in a faint narrow CME, while for the second one no clear separate coronagraphic figures are visible.

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.
