1 Solar Flare arrival possible Thursday

NOAA's ENLIL solar wind model calls for an impact around noon on Thursday (19 March) and a moderate G2 geomagnetic storm watch has been issued for the same day. This might be optimistic as the SIDC calls for an arrival late on Thursday which seems more plausible considering how slow the CME was at launch (550km/s). A moderate G2 storm watch also seems a bit on the optimistic side based on it's slow speed and faint outline but we hope to be surprised.
