G1 storm, Incoming CME?

We reached the minor G1 geomagnetic storm threshold today thanks to the arrival of the anticipated coronal hole solar wind stream. The solar wind speed fluctuates around 600km/s and the direction of the IMF (Bz) is variable but does occasionally tip southward down to -10nT.
