COMMENT: Several C-class flares in past 24h. The strongest one was a C4.5
flare from AR 2014 peaking at 00:10 UT. AR 2010, 2014 and 2015 have
potential for M-class flares. Geomagnetic conditions are quiet, solar wind
speed is around 400 km/s with IMF values lower than 5 nT. The conditions
may reach active and minor storm levels when/if the CME of March 23 arrives
to the Earth, expected early on March 26.

COMMENT: Solar activity has been dominated by minor C-class flares from
NOAA ARs 2010 and 2014. These two ARs, and AR 2015, have potential for
M-class flares. A rise in the GOES proton levels (10 MeV up to 1 pfu) was
seen this morning, this could correspond with the approaching shock of the
CME from March 23 (low energy protons and electrons on ACE show an increase
at the same time). It could also be related with activity seen at 05:30 UT
around NOAA AR 2015, a flare accompanied by dimmings. There is no LASCO
data yet but the COR instruments on STEREO show a CME directed towards the
west. Geomagnetic conditions are quiet, solar wind speed around 400 km/s,
IMF around 5 nT. Conditions may reach minor storm levels with the arrival
of the March 23 CME, expected for early March 26 (midnight)..

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.
