IMPACT UNLIKELY, GLANCING BLOW
--
Based on heliospheric ensemble modeling carried out at NASA GSFC Space Weather Research Center, it is estimated that the CME may impact MESSENGER and Mars. For 36 ensemble members (see notes section), simulations indicate that the leading edge of the CME will reach:

- MESSENGER between about 2014-03-31T01:05Z and 2014-03-31T03:45Z (average arrival 2014-03-31T02:28Z) for 8% of simulations.
- Mars between about 2014-04-04T07:07Z and 2014-04-04T07:07Z (average arrival 2014-04-04T07:07Z) for 2% of simulations.

Additionally the CME is estimated to reach NASA missions near Earth between about 2014-04-01T20:31Z and 2014-04-01T22:30Z (average arrival 2014-04-01T21:30Z) for 5% of simulations. The roughly estimated ensemble-based expected range of the maximum Kp index is 3-4 (below minor to below minor).

## Notes:
SWRC CME ensemble is obtained by building sets of initial CME parameters and by carrying out separate simulations for each set. This approach will allow mapping of uncertainties in the initial CME parameters into statistical characterization of the CME impact at locations of interest.
