Prediction for CME (2023-03-17T10:58:00-CME-001)

CME Observed Time: 2023-03-17T10:58Z
iSWAS Layout URL: https://kauai.ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov/DONKI/view/CME/24285/-1
CME Note: [PRELIMINARY] This CME overlaps the CME first seen in SOHO LASCO C2 at 2023-03-17T10:30Z to the SW. There are currently ongoing campaigns impacting the amount of available imagery for the SOHO LASCO C3 and STEREO A COR2 coronagraphs. The source of this CME is a large filament eruption seen in SDO/AIA 304 and GOES SUVI 304 starting around 2023-03-17T08:50Z with full lift off by 2023-03-17T12:17Z. The filament has it's largest mass centered around S40W30, but stretches between the longitudes of 0 degrees to 40 degrees and the latitudes of -20 degrees to -50 degrees. Possible minor arrival signature includes gradual increase of total magnetic field to over 11 nT with rotation of at least two magnetic field components, possibly indicating a CME arrival/glancing blow. It is likely embedded in a HSS. Waiting for assessment from LASSOS team.

Solar Activity
...

A CME associated with a filament eruption in the SW on 17 Mar (seen in
LASCO C2 imagery at ~17/1100 UTC) is expected to arrive late on 20
Mar/early on 21 Mar.

...

.Forecast...
Near nominal solar wind environment is expected on 19 Mar. On 20-21 Mar,
the combination of a potential grazing from the 17 Mar CME and a
positive polarity CH HSS is expected to enhance solar wind conditions.

Lead Time: 72.93 hour(s)
