NEW: A solar storm was launched from the Sun yesterday and is on the way to Earth.

NOAA has issued a Moderate Geomagnetic Storm Watch for Friday, October 9 due to anticipated arrival.

Community consensus on the arrival of this CME is around the first half of the UTC day on Friday, but our in-house model has the storm arriving near Earth a bit later, closer to 15 UTC. Expected Kp range between 4 and 6.
