# FAST WARNING 'PRESTO' MESSAGE  from the SIDC (RWC-Belgium)         #
#--------------------------------------------------------------------#
A faint CME front can be detected in SoHO/LASCO C2 images from around 21:12UT August 20. It is mainly directed towards the West but has an extension over the South. Although faint, it could be classified as partial halo CME. The CME seems to be related to the eruption on August 20, around 19:00UT of a filament located around the central meridian between 35 and 50 degrees. The angular extent together with the location of the associated filament eruption indicate that it is likely that the CME has an Earth-bound component. With an uncertain speed of between 300 and 500 km/s an arrival is anticipated between noon of August 24 and noon of August 25. Effects in terms of solar wind speed should be small but the magnetic field may see significant effects of the passing cloud.
