COMMENT: There are currently 9 sunspot regions on the solar disk. NOAA 2130
produced an M2 flare peaking at 14:48UT, and NOAA 2127 was the source of an
M1.5 flare peaking at 18:13UT. The CME associated to this flaring activity
was first observed by SOHO/LASCO at 18:36UT. This CME had a true speed of
about 800 km/s, but the bulk was directed to the SE. Nonetheless,
difference imagery detected the outline of a faint halo to the WSW, and was
a near full halo as seen from the STEREO-A vantage point. Hence, a glancing
blow of this CME can not be excluded and could impact Earth in the
afternoon of 4 August.   NOAA 2127, 2130 and 2132 still have areas with
some mixed magnetic polarity.   The CME associated to the 1 August
(10:15UT) filament eruption, which took place in the same location as the
30 July filament eruption, was directed mainly to the north. It does not
seem to have an Earth-directed component despite its proximity to the
disk's center.   Two 25-degrees long filaments in the NE and SW quadrant
remained stable.    C-class flaring is expected, with a chance for an
M-class flare.     Solar wind speed increased from about 350 km/s to values
between 400-450 km/s. Bz oscillated between -10 and +10 nT. Local
geomagnetic conditions were quiet to unsettled, with Kp briefly reaching
active levels just before midnight. No obvious signature from the CME
associated to the 30 July filament eruption has been observed so far in the
solar wind parameters.     Geomagnetic conditions are expected to be quiet
to unsettled, with locally a chance on active conditions as the solar wind
may still be modulated by the 30 July CME (2 August) and the influence of a
coronal hole stream (4 August).
TODAY'S ESTIMATED ISN  : 123, BASED ON 12 STATIONS.

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.
