Another CME erupted from the Sun on 9 May. This partial halo CME was associated with an M4 flare from sunspot Region 3296 and was first observed in SOHO coronagraph imagery on 9 May around 1900 UTC moving between 1400-1600 km/s. Forecasters predict a component of this CME will arrive at Earth by midday on 11 May as a G3 (Strong) geomagnetic storm while the bulk of the eruptive material passes ahead and north of Earth's orbit. G2 (Moderate) storming is likely into 12 May with ongoing CME influences.
