There was no metric radio Type II report, so I guessed Vs = 1000 km/s based on Kevin Schenk's Vcme = 896.7 km/s estimate from LASCO and 1097 km/s estimate from STEREO B as a guide for STOA's initial input shock speed ahead of the CME. 
 
STOA's shock arrival at Earth predicted: 02 October 2013, 0615 UT +/-10 hr. ["US Gov't. shutdown+1 day" event]
Caveat: This blast wave theory-based model is empirical 2D with no consideration of azimuthal variations. Also the uncertainty mentioned above is based on published real time studies in Cycle 23.
 
I hope that Chin-Chun Wu and Yihua Zheng at NRL and NASA are not furloughed (!) and can run H3DMHD and ENLIL 3D codes!

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.
