The partial halo coronal mass ejection associated with the 4 November
M3.7 flare has an earth-directed component. It is likely to impact
earth late on UT day Nov 06/2200 or thereabout. As
a result, minor to major geomagnetic storms could occur on UT day 07
Nov depending on IMF Bz conditions. Aurora sightings are likely on the
evenings of 7 Nov from Southern Australian regions, such as Tasmania
and Victoria.
