Default CME that appears to be heading toward Earth

Space Weather News for Jan. 19, 2011
http://spaceweather.com

EARTH-DIRECTED FLA Active sunspot 1401 erupted today, Jan. 19th, for
more than an hour around 16:00 UT. The long-duration blast produced an
M3-class solar flare and a CME that appears to be heading toward Earth.
Forecasters say strong geomagnetic storms are possible when the cloud
arrives during the late hours of Jan. 21st. High-latitude (and possibly
middle-latitude) sky watchers should be alert for auroras this weekend.
Check http://spaceweather.com for movies and updates.

DON'T MISS THE STORM: Would you like a call when geomagnetic storms are
in progress? Storm alerts are available from http://spaceweathertext.com
(text) and http://spaceweatherphone.com (voice).
