Another overcast night visually - but again I think the cloud was thin enough for the SDI to discern direction information. The wind and temperature data both look good. The CME launched on April 27 hit SOHO & ACE at 0800 and 0845 UT respectively. Ground effects (mag, VHF radar) appeared about 0945. However, the ground impact was abysmal - no decent disturbance.
