CME Shock Arrival Time: 2015-12-31T00:02Z
Observed Geomagnetic Storm Parameters due to CME:
Max Kp: 6.0

Predicted Arrival Time: 2015-12-30T10:00Z
Predicted geomagnetic storm max Kp range due to CME: 6.0 - 6.0
Prediction Method: WSA-ENLIL + Cone (NOAA/SWPC)

A. NOAA Geomagnetic Activity Observation and Forecast

The greatest observed 3 hr Kp over the past 24 hours was 2 (below NOAA
Scale levels).
The greatest expected 3 hr Kp for Dec 29-Dec 31 2015 is 6 (NOAA Scale
G2).

Rationale: The geomagnetic field is expected to remain below G1-Minor
storm levels for day one (29 Dec) and into the first part of day two (30
Dec). Mid to late on day two should see the arrival of the 28 Dec CME
bringing major storming (G2-Moderate) levels with it. Day three (31 Dec)
should see minor storm (G1-Minor) levels early in the day before waning
CME effects return the Earths magnetic field to below G1-Minor levels.
Lead Time: 50.80 hour(s)
Difference: 14.03 hour(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.
