Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) and a Coronal Hole High Speed Stream (CH HSS) are now in the forecast. Recent CMEs have departed the Sun and may reach Earth with at least glancing blows. Earliest influences may be as soon as late on Nov. 4. The most recent CME (shown in the image) is more likely to have an Earth-directed component and may reach Earth afterwards. Additionally, a CH HSS will likely affect Earth as soon as Nov. 8 with effects possibly lasting through Nov. 10. All of this activity makes for an interesting forecast challenge and expected conditions are still being evaluated, but geomagnetic disturbances are becoming more likely from Nov. 4-10.
