Solar alert

Issued on 2023 Feb 26 0958 UTC

SoHO/LASCO coronagraph images show another asymmetric halo CME towards the west-northwest. It first appears in the C2 field of view at 19:36UTC February 25. The projected speed is around 1000km/s. The event is associated to the M6.3 flare peaking at 19:44UTC from NOAA active region 3229, with associated radio bursts and an on disc dimming visible in SDO 193 images. Given the source location on disc and the halo extent in coronagraph images the CME is estimated to have an Earth directed component. Initial estimates provide an expected arrival late February 27.
