After the partial halo CME recorded yesterday, other CMEs associated with these flares are weak and/or narrow. We thus do not expect any resulting geomagnetic disturbance. The Catania sunspot group 90, NOAA AR 1007, still has a potential to produce more C-class flares. However, as the sunspot group is approaching the west limb, an Earth-directed CME is unlikely. The Earth is currently inside the slow solar wind flow with weak to average interplanetary magnetic field. The geomagnetic conditions will thus remain quiet.
