NOAA AR 2017 released an X1.0 flare with peak at 17:48 UT on March 29, associated with radio bursts, a full halo CME and an increase in GOES proton fluxes (not passing the threshold). This region is expected to
produce M-class flares and probably X-class flares, it has a beta gamma delta magnetic configuration. A type II radio burst was detected at 11:52 UT, close in time of a C-class flare, this may mark the presence of another CME, but there is no data available yet.The full halo CME related to the X1.0 flare was first seen at 18:12 UT by LASCO-C2. The speeds measured are of 510 km/s (LASCO-C3), giving an expected arrival time (using DBM) to the Earth of 04:30 UT on April 2. Geomagnetic conditions are quiet, the situation may change when/if the CMEs from March 28 arrive to the Earth early on April 1 (expected 05:00 UT).
