# FAST WARNING 'PRESTO' MESSAGE  from the SIDC (RWC-Belgium)         #
#--------------------------------------------------------------------#
An asymmetric full halo CME is visible in SoHO/LASCO data, from 17:24 UT (June 18) onwards. The event is associated to the long duration M3.0 flare from Catania group 92 (NOAA region 2371) peaking at 17:36UT with an associated dimming and EUV wave. The bulk of the mass is expelled in Western direction off the Sun-Earth line (with the source region located at longitude -45 degrees approximately at the time of the event) with a projected speed of around 600 km/s.
Impact of this CME on Earth is expected late June 21 or early June 22.

SIDC SOLAR BULLETIN 19 Jun 2015, 1230UT
SIDC FORECAST (valid from 1230UT, 19 Jun 2015 until 21 Jun 2015)
SOLAR FLARES  : M-class flares expected (probability >=50%)
GEOMAGNETISM  : Quiet (A<20 and K<4)
SOLAR PROTONS : Quiet
PREDICTIONS FOR 19 Jun 2015  10CM FLUX: 150 / AP: 008
PREDICTIONS FOR 20 Jun 2015  10CM FLUX: 150 / AP: 007
PREDICTIONS FOR 21 Jun 2015  10CM FLUX: 150 / AP: 046
COMMENT: Solar flaring activity was moderate with a long duration M3.0
flare originating from Catania group 92 (NOAA 2371) peaking around 17:36UT.
It was associated with a dimming and an EUV wave and a corresponding
asymmetric halo in SoHO/LASCO coronagraph images. Several further C flares
were recorded from Catania groups 92 (including a C8.1 flare peaking at
9:27UT) as well as 87 (NOAA 2371 and 2367 respectively). Catania group 92
has a complex beta-gamma-delta configuration while also Catania group 87
deserves continued attention.
Flaring at M level is likely for the next days from those two sources.
The 10 MeV proton flux remained above the event threshold for most of the
afternoon of June 18. Since around midnight flux values are below the event
threshold and further declining.
The asymmetric full halo CME associated to the M3.0 flare is visible in
SoHO/LASCO data, from 17:24 UT (June 18) onwards in the C2 field of view.
The bulk of the mass is expelled in Eastern direction off the Sun-Earth
line (with the source region located at longitude -45 degrees approximately
at the time of the event) with a projected speed of around 1000km/s (Cactus
software is underestimating the speed).
Impact of this CME on Earth is currently expected before UT noon June 21.
Another CME is visible in SoHO/LASCO C2 data from 8:25UT onwards (after a
datagap). It is directed predominantly southward and associated with a
filament eruption in the south-east quadrant. We await further data for
assessment of possible Earth-directed CME component.
Solar wind conditions are gradually further restoring to nominal. Solar
wind speed decreased from around 420 km/s to around 370 km/s. total
magnetic field was in the 4-5nT range with variable Bz.
Geomagnetic conditions were quiet to unsettled (NOAA Kp 1-3, local K
Dourbes 0-3).
Quiet geomagnetic conditions are expected over the next 24-36 hours, with
afterwards the likely impact of the June 18 17:24UT CME arriving around or
before noon June 21 with possible associated geomagnetic storm conditions.
TODAY'S ESTIMATED ISN  : 053, BASED ON 06 STATIONS.
