A coronal mass ejection was expected to give us a glancing blow early today but there are no signs of a shock passage.
The low energy protons and electrons as measured by EPAM are at background levels and the solar wind at ACE suggests we are seeing lessening coronal hole effects. It is safe to say that the M3.9 coronal mass ejection missed our planet.
Slightly more positive news is that a small coronal hole faced Earth about 1,5 days ago. Little impact should be expected from it as it's only a tiny hole but high latitude sky watchers might enjoy some enhanced auroral displays from it in 1 to 2 days from now.
