The NOAA model run includes the two Earth-directed #solarstorm launches. The larger one catches up with the smaller one just ahead of Earth so a precursor disturbance may indeed ramp up before the larger storm hits. Impact is expected by late September 1. G2+ conditions are possible.

Finally, from STEREO-A imagery, it does look like three separate eruptions. Remember, STEREO-A is looking at the Sun from the west side, so the signatures will not look like halos from STEREO-A's perspective. But you can clearly see the bright fronts of each stacked in close proximity.

Looking at NOAA's recently released run, it seems SWPC might have modeled a two-part eruption. The stronger part being directed slightly eastward of Earth, while the weaker part directed more towards Earth. This is likely why NOAA believes we won't see much of an impact until early July 27.

Now, it looks like NASA chose to model this multi-part eruption as a single storm because the coronagraph signature was so complex. Their model run shows essentially a direct hit early on July 26, circa 0400 UTC.

In actuality, there are multiple partial halos in this complex structure-- one that launches to the east, one more northward, and another structure that launches a bit more southward. I will go over this in more detail in my upcoming forecast.

Now, here is what makes things interesting. These eruptions happened so close together that in coronagraphs they look like a single structure launching to the east side of the Sun, but that is not consistent with the location of the main filament launch, which was west of center disk.

To break things down a bit more simply, here is a detailed animation that shows the scars created by the two bits of the complex eruption that are Earth-directed. These dark scars are highlighted by the ovals and show where the final two bits tore off from the Sun.

Next, early on July 23, the filament near center disk (see arrows) launches slowly. This is the main Earth-directed eruption. Then by mid-afternoon on July 23, Region 4149 finally lets go of the remaining material connected to the filament. It is a three-part process that is deceptively complex.

Our Sun rapid-fire launched multiple #solarstorms, but they were so close together in time that they look as if they are one structure in coronagraphs. A thread 🧵. Late on July 22, you can see a slight "puff" just to the east of Region 4150. This launches the first solar storm and sets the stage.

Activity ramps up due to some fast #solar wind from a coronal hole entering the Earth strike zone now. #AuroraAustralis chasers at high latitudes could get a decent show through June 28. Expect views to be more sporadic at mid-latitudes. Amateur radio operators expect a full forecast for Field Day.

During the #solarstorm launch, a strong blast wave occurs, but it propagates mainly northward. So the main structure was launched towards the northern pole of the Sun. However, Region 4114 is crossing the Earth-strike zone now, so we could see an Earth-directed storm launch yet!
