OFF-TARGET CME PRODUCES ... QUIET: A CME expected to sideswipe Earth's magnetic field on Sept. 11-12 missed, making it at least the 5th CME to narrowly miss our planet in the past two weeks. New acronym: CME=Certain to Miss Earth. Our planet's magnetic field is quiet and expected to remain so for the next 3 days.

SOLAR WIND FROM THE SUN'S NORTH POLE: Earth is inside a minor stream of solar wind leaking from a far-northern hole in the sun's atmosphere. Geomagnetic storms are not expected. Nevertheless, the action of the stream could spark auroras around the Arctic Circle on Sept. 13-14.

GEOMAGNETIC STORM WATCH: Confidence is growing that a CME might graze Earth's magnetic field on Sept. 17th, possibly sparking minor G1-class geomagnetic storms.

The CME left the sun on Sept. 13th, propelled toward us by an exploding filament of magnetism. Tracking this CME has been tricky, because in coronagraph imagery it overlapped at least two other storm clouds.

Confusion among simultaneous CMEs increased the uncertainty of the forecast.

MINOR GEOMAGNETIC STORM WATCH: A CME is approaching Earth for a close encounter on Sept. 17th. It will either miss or deliver a glancing blow. Both outcomes are equally possible given uncertainties in the CME's trajectory. A hit could spark minor G1-class geomagnetic storms and high-latitude auroras.

WEAK IMPACT: A CME hit Earth's magnetic field on Sept. 17th at ~0200 UT. The impact was very weak, lifting the solar wind speed by a measly 40 km/s. There's still a chance for geomagnetic unrest, however, as Earth passes through the CME's turbulent and magnetized wake.
