## Summary:
Significantly elevated energetic electron fluxes in the Earth's outer radiation belt. GOES "greater than 2.0 MeV" integral electron flux remains elevated, recently crossing the threshold of 1000 pfu at 2026-04-05T05:00Z.
The elevated energetic electron flux levels observed since 2026-04-03T09:05Z (see notification 20260403-AL-002) are likely caused by the combined arrival of a coronal hole high speed stream detected by ACE at L1 on 2026-04-02, reaching maximum sustained speeds of approximately 700 km/s, and the arrival of the CME with ID 2026-04-01T23:45:00-CME-001 (see notifications 20260402-AL-001, 20260402-AL-002, 20260402-AL-005). This CME was likely detected at L1 by ACE and DSCOVR at 2026-04-03T15:02Z (see notification 20260403-AL-003). The solar wind speed observed at L1 is currently around 560 km/s.
NASA spacecraft at GEO, MEO and other orbits passing through or in the vicinity of the Earth's outer radiation belt can be impacted.
Activity ID: 2026-04-03T09:05:00-RBE-001.
## Notes:
This coronal hole high speed stream was associated with the moderate geomagnetic storm with ID 2026-04-02T15:00:00-GST-001 (see notifications 20260402-AL-003, 20260402-AL-004).
The arrival of this CME was associated with the strong geomagnetic storm with ID 2026-04-03T15:00:00-GST-001 (see notifications 20260403-AL-004, 20260403-AL-005).

## Disclaimer: NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center is the United States Government official source for space weather forecasts. This "Experimental Research Information" consists of preliminary NASA research products and should be interpreted and used accordingly.
## Summary:
Update on CME with ID 2026-04-02T20:46:00-CME-001 (see previous notification 20260402-AL-006). Based on updated analysis by the Moon to Mars Space Weather Analysis Office and heliospheric modeling carried out at NASA Community Coordinated Modeling Center, it is estimated that this CME may affect OSIRIS-APEX (glancing blow). The flank of the CME may reach OSIRIS-APEX at 2026-04-05T21:00Z (plus minus 7 hours).
The simulation also indicates that the CME may have a glancing blow at NASA missions near Earth. Simulations indicate that the southern flank of the CME may reach NASA missions near Earth at about 2026-04-05T20:00Z (plus minus 7 hours). The roughly estimated expected range of the maximum Kp index is 3-4 (below minor).
Updated CME parameters are:
Start time of the event: 2026-04-02T20:46Z.
Estimated speed: ~832 km/s.
Estimated opening half-angle: 16 deg.
Direction (lon./lat.): 15/20 in Heliocentric Earth Equatorial coordinates.
Activity ID: 2026-04-02T20:46:00-CME-001
