Both flares are accompanied by wide CMEs, but the source region position behind the east limb makes their arrival to the Earth unlikely. More C and even M flares are probable from this active region. The Earth is inside the slow solar wind flow, so the geomagnetic conditions are expected to remain quiet in the coming hours. We, however, expect the arrival of a fast solar wind stream from the low-latitude coronal hole in the southern hemisphere. Disturbed geomagnetic conditions up to the minor storm level are possible starting from January 28. TODAY'S ESTIMATED ISN : 009, BASED ON 03 STATIONS.
