The proton event linked to the M8.3 flare of Jan. 23 is still in progress for protons at energies above 10 MeV, and marginally in progress for the > 50 MeV protons. Geomagnetic activity is expected to reach minor storm levels by the end of Jan. 24, due to the arrival of the halo CME of Jan. 23. Current conditions as measured by ACE are quiet.
