Halo CME Detected - Associated with X1 Flare on 23 March UTC-Day
A halo CME, associated with the X1 flare, was detected in NASA/SOHO coronagraph imagery on the 23 March UTC-day. The CME is currently under analysis by SWPC forecasters. It appears quite probable this CME could be Earth-directed, however, until full analysis is accomplished, any decisions about arrival potential, timing, and intensity will have to wait.
