Additional Comments

Two coronal mass ejections (CMEs) were observed leaving the Sun yesterday, both associated with prominent filament eruptions, the first late on 12-Apr, and the second, early on 13-Apr, both from near solar centre locations. There is significant dense filament material lift-off visible on available SOHO/STEREO imagery. We expect these CMEs to become geoeffective during the second forecast period increasing the geomagnetic activity to minor geomagnetic storm (STORM G2), with the possibility of STORM G3 levels.
