ALERT: Geomagnetic K-index of 5
UPDATE: A minor (G1) geomagnetic storm watch was added beginning June 13th. The CME associated with the duration C6 flare appears to be heading mostly to the east with a glancing blow possible late on Saturday (UTC). High latitude sky watchers should be alert this weekend should local light and weather conditions allow.
ALERT: Type II Radio Emission
UPDATE #2: A strong (G3) geomagnetic storm watch was issued beginning midday June 8th and into the 9th when the CME associated with this event is predicted to pass Earth.
CME Update:
CME Detected: An incoming CME was detected at 04:31 UTC (June 5) by the ACE spacecraft and swept past Earth at 05:11 UTC. Initially the solar wind speed increased from 400 km/s to around 500-550 km/s with the Bz/IMF component pointing north. It is still early in the passage phase and fluctuations will be likely in the hours ahead. A geomagnetic storm watch remains in effect.

An asymmetrical halo coronal mass ejection (CME) is leaving the Sun today following the eruption in the southeast quadrant. Although the mail bulk of plasma is heading southeast, there does appear to be an Earth directed component. An automated CME model by NASA is showing a passage past Earth by June 8th. Another round of geomagnetic storming may be possible. Stay tuned for more updates regarding this event.
