Geomagnetic storms possible this weekend as CME from M1.0 solar flare heads toward Earth

An M1.0 solar flare erupted from Active Region 4373 at 08:58 UTC on February 13, 2026, launching a coronal mass ejection (CME) expected to glance Earth around February 15–16. SWPC forecasts G1 - Minor to isolated G2 - Moderate geomagnetic storm conditions as the CME interacts with a co-rotating interaction region and a positive-polarity coronal-hole high-speed stream.
