Prediction for CME (2026-06-30T21:45:00-CME-001)

CME Observed Time: 2026-06-30T21:45Z
DONKI Link: https://kauai.ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov/DONKI/view/CME/47199/-1
CME Note: Full halo CME currently observed only in GOES CCOR-1 and somewhat blocked by its pylon. Not yet observed in other coronagraphs due to a SOHO LASCO DSN gap between 2026-06-30T20:15Z to 2026-06-30T23:45Z, and STEREO A data gap starting at 2026-06-30T19:23Z. The source is associated with an X1.1 flare (N17W18) observed in SDO AIA 131 from AR 14479 (N16W22), peaking at 2026-06-30T20:50Z. Also observed as a NE-deflected EUV wave and wide swath of dimming in SDO AIA 193/211 centered around N20W05, brightening/flare ribbons along a channel to the NE of the region in SDO AIA 131/171/193/211/304, and a post-eruptive brightening starting around 2026-06-30T21:46Z. | Arrival signature: Shock detected in SOLAR 1, ACE, and IMAP real-time solar wind data. Using the SOLAR 1 data: B_total jumps from ~7 nT to ~11 nT, solar wind speed jumps from 395 km/s to 454 km/s, solar wind density jumps from 2.43 p/cc to 5.82 p/cc, and solar wind temperature jumps from 134k Kelvin to 187k Kelvin. Starting around 2026-07-03T18:00Z, a gradual increase from 8 to 20 nT is observed with a flux rope signature/magnetic field component stabilization following this, and wind speeds correspondingly increase from 450 km/s to 620 km/s.

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.
