The first glimpse of a CME is visible in STEREO Ahead COR2 pictures at 06:39 UT. The CME propagates towards the Earth. Geomagnetic activity is expected to increase to major storm level on Feb 09 as consequence of the arrival of the halo CME associated with the M6.4 flare on Feb 07, peaking at 02:34UR. More geomagnetic disturbances can be expected as the CME seen by STEREO reaches Earth. TODAY'S ESTIMATED ISN : 036, BASED ON 07 STATIONS.
