[/caption]The NOAA Space Weather forecast says the coronal mass ejection (CME) associated with the R3 (strong) Radio Blackout event started 7:24 p.m. EST March 6 and arrived at earth at 5:45 a.m. EST March 8. "So far the orientation of the magnetic field has been opposite of what is needed to cause the strongest storming. As the event progresses, that field will continue to change. Based on overall strength, the predictions for periods reaching the G3 level look justified. Additionally, the Solar Radiation Storm levels remain above the S3 (strong) threshold at this time, with values rising momentarily with shock arrival. Region 1429 remains potent and subsequent activity is certainly possible."
