Prediction for CME (2022-01-18T18:23:00-CME-001)

CME Observed Time: 2022-01-18T18:23Z
iSWAS Layout URL: https://kauai.ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov/DONKI/view/CME/18877/-1
CME Note: This CME is visible to the NW in SOHO LASCO C2/C3 and STEREO A COR2 imagery. It is associated with an M1.5 flare from AR 12929 (N07W53) and brightening/EUV wave visible in SDO AIA 193 starting aorund 2022-01-18T17:20Z. The source signature is also visible in STEREO A EUVI 195 toward the NW limb around the same time. The CME arrival includes weak magnetic shock and jumps in solar wind density/speed/temp, preceded by a weak pileup.
CME Shock Arrival Time: 2022-01-21T12:55Z
Observed Geomagnetic Storm Parameters due to CME:

SIDC SOLAR BULLETIN 19 Jan 2022, 1230UT
SIDC FORECAST (valid from 1230UT, 19 Jan 2022 until 21 Jan 2022)
SOLAR FLARES  : C-class flares expected, (probability >=50%)
GEOMAGNETISM  : Active conditions expected (A>=20 or K=4)
SOLAR PROTONS : Warning condition (activity levels expected to increase, but no numeric forecast given)
PREDICTIONS FOR 19 Jan 2022  10CM FLUX: 115 / AP: 025
PREDICTIONS FOR 20 Jan 2022  10CM FLUX: 114 / AP: 024
PREDICTIONS FOR 21 Jan 2022  10CM FLUX: 113 / AP: 022
COMMENT: There are 4 visible active regions on the solar disk. NOAA AR 2929
produced an M1.5 flare peaking at 17:44 UT on 18 January. This region has
decayed into a beta magnetic field configuration, region 2930 can also
produce flaring activity. C-class flares can be expected in the next 24
hours, more M-class flares are possible. In the case of large flares, since
these active regions are located close to the west limb, a proton event is
possible at the Earth,

The flare described above was related to a CME of about 90 degrees width,
directed to the northwest with a speed of 900 km/s. A possible glancing
blow at the Earth can be expected on 21 January.

Lead Time: 50.27 hour(s)
Difference: -5.08 hour(s)

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.
