Just one comment that we do not predict shock arrival times but CME 
arrival time.

March 16, 2013

On 15 March 2013 around 07 UT a halo CME occurred on the Earth directed 
solar disk slightly NE to central meridian. It was associated with a 
M1.2 flare. Part of the CME is expected to be directed towards earth. 
From the BHV model we forecast its arrival time around 15 UT on March 
17. The CME's speed at earth is estimated to 550-600 km/s. Magnetic 
field analysis yields a WSE (NWS) LH type CME with peak storm phase to 
occur near the center and trailing portion of the CME. The peak storm is 
expected to occur before midnight on March 17 until morning of March 18 
with expected Kp values of about 7. Polar lights may be visible in 
southern Scandinavia. You are welcome to test our L1 solar wind, Kp, 
Aurorae alerts provided as RSS feeds (not directly available with the 
Safari Browser). The services are provided through the "Project" button 
at the AFFECTS main page.

Greetings, Volker
