CME IMPACT SPARKS GEOMAGNETIC STORM: Geomagnetic storms (category G2) are underway on Nov. 5th in respond to the impact of a CME at 0905 UT. This could be the early arrival of a full-halo CME, which we warned readers about yesterday. But maybe not. We knew that another lesser CME was preceding the halo, and this could be it. If the full halo CME is still coming, it could intensify geomagnetic activity even more when it arrives later today. Stay tuned!
