Prediction for CME (2026-04-23T05:12:00-CME-001)

CME Observed Time: 2026-04-23T05:12Z
DONKI Link: https://kauai.ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov/DONKI/view/CME/45789/-1
CME Note: CME whose bulk is seen to the northeast with wider shock seen to due east in SOHO LASCO C2/C3, GOES CCOR-1, and STEREO A COR2 coronagraphs in association with a long duration M1.2 class solar flare from AR4420 near N16E40. The EUV signature is characterized by a circular EUV wave and dimming signature during the eruption seen best in SDO AIA 193 and GOES SUVI 284.
CME Shock Arrival Time: 2026-04-25T19:28Z
Observed Geomagnetic Storm Parameters due to CME:
----

Predicted Arrival Time: 2026-04-26T20:00Z (-12.0h, +12.0h)
Confidence that the CME will arrive: 53.0%
Predicted geomagnetic storm max Kp range due to CME: 4.0 - 6.0

...Coronal mass ejections: A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) was observed LASCO-C2
data around 05:24 UTC on April 23. This CME is associated with M1.6 flare
(SIDC Flare 7456) peaking on April 23 at 04:35 UTC, with a speed of around
800 km/s. A glancing blow arrival is expected on April 26 around 20:00 UTC....

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.
