## Summary:
C-type CME detected by SOHO.
Start time of the event: 2026-01-10T20:48Z.
Estimated speed: ~809 km/s.
Estimated opening half-angle: 23 deg.
Direction (lon./lat.): 3/-29 in Heliocentric Earth Equatorial coordinates.
Activity ID: 2026-01-10T20:48:00-CME-001
Based on preliminary 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), Solar Orbiter (glancing blow), and STEREO A (glancing blow). The flank of the CME will reach OSIRIS-APEX at 2026-01-13T08:00Z, Solar Orbiter at 2026-01-13T01:00Z, and STEREO A at 2026-01-14T10:00Z (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 flank of the CME will reach NASA missions near Earth at about 2026-01-13T16:00Z (plus minus 7 hours). The roughly estimated expected range of the maximum Kp index is 3-5 (below minor to minor).

## Summary:
Significantly elevated energetic electron fluxes in the Earth's outer radiation belt. GOES "greater than 2.0 MeV" integral electron flux is above 1000 pfu starting at 2026-01-10T15:10Z.
The elevated energetic electron flux levels are caused by the arrival of a coronal hole high speed stream which started on 2026-01-09, reaching a maximum speed of approximately 560 km/s, preceded by the arrival of the CME with ID 2026-01-06T02:00:00-CME-001 (see notification 20260106-AL-001). The arrival of this CME was likely detected at L1 by DSCOVR and ACE at 2026-01-08T04:57Z. The solar wind speed observed at L1 is currently around 460 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.

## Summary:
Update on CME with ID 2026-01-08T17:00:00-CME-001, now modeled with CMEs with IDs 2026-01-08T15:48:00-CME-001 and 2026-01-08T17:12:00-CME-001. Based on preliminary 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 the CMEs may affect Solar Orbiter and OSIRIS-APEX (glancing blow). The combined leading edge of the CMEs will reach Solar Orbiter at 2026-01-10T10:52Z and Juno at 2026-01-23T00:00Z, and the flank may reach OSIRIS-APEX at 2026-01-11T12:00Z (plus minus 7 hours).
The simulation also indicates that the CMEs may impact NASA missions near Earth. Simulations indicate that the combined leading edge of the CMEs will reach NASA missions near Earth at about 2026-01-10T21:19Z (plus minus 7 hours). The roughly estimated expected range of the maximum Kp index is 5-7 (minor to strong).

## Summary:
BETA PRODUCT. ENSEMBLE PRODUCT IS STILL IN DEVELOPMENT MODE. PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR MODIFICATIONS.
Ensemble modeling update on CME with ID 2026-01-08T05:53:00-CME-001 (see previous notification 20260108-AL-001). Based on heliospheric ensemble modeling carried out at the Moon to Mars Space Weather Analysis Office, it is estimated that the CME may impact NASA missions near Earth. Out of 32 ensemble members (see notes section), 30 (93%) indicate impact at NASA missions near Earth. Ensemble simulations indicate that the leading edge of the CME will reach NASA missions near Earth between about 2026-01-10T03:33Z and 2026-01-10T19:04Z (average arrival 2026-01-10T09:55Z). The ensemble-based forecast indicates that there is a 74% chance for the maximum Kp index to be in the 5-7 range (minor to strong).

## Notes:
This CME event with ID 2026-01-08T05:53:00-CME-001 is also predicted to impact Solar Orbiter at 2026-01-09T23:52Z, Juno at 2026-01-23T00:00Z, OSIRIS-APEX at 2026-01-10T08:00Z, and STEREO A at 2026-01-11T07:00Z (plus minus 7 hours), based on previous heliospheric modeling (see notification 20260108-AL-001).
This CME event (2026-01-08T05:53:00-CME-001) is associated with C4.4 flare from Active Region 14334 (S18E05) with ID 2026-01-08T05:24:00-FLR-001 which peaked at 2026-01-08T05:42Z.
Ensemble CME modeling at M2M is performed by building sets of initial CME parameters and carrying out separate simulations for each set. This approach allows a mapping of initial CME parameter uncertainties into a statistical characterization of CME arrival times and impact at locations of interest.
Description of links: For each location, the first link shows the WSA-ENLIL+Cone model animation for the median CME input parameters, the second link shows the probabilistic distribution of predicted arrival times histogram, and the third link shows a stack plot of the WSA-ENLIL+Cone modeled magnetic field, velocity, density, and temperature for all ensemble members. For missions near Earth, a histogram of the probabilistic Kp forecast is also provided.

The leading edge of the CME may reach BepiColombo at 2026-01-09T03:37Z, Mars at 2026-01-10T19:14Z, Parker Solar Probe at 2026-01-09T08:16Z, and Psyche at 2026-01-11T06:37Z (plus minus 7 hours).

Based on preliminary 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 Juno (glancing blow), Solar Orbiter, OSIRIS-APEX (glancing blow), and STEREO A (glancing blow). The leading edge of the CME may reach Solar Orbiter at 2026-01-09T23:52Z (plus minus 7 hours). The flank of the CME may reach Juno at 2026-01-23T00:00Z, OSIRIS-APEX at 2026-01-10T08:00Z, and STEREO A at 2026-01-11T07:00Z (plus minus 7 hours).
The simulation also indicates that the CME may impact NASA missions near Earth. Simulations indicate that the leading edge of the CME will reach NASA missions near Earth at about 2026-01-10T09:48Z (plus minus 7 hours). The roughly estimated expected range of the maximum Kp index is 5-7 (minor to strong).
