Because the sun is not very active, the likelihood of CMEs is low. CMEs are more frequent at a solar maximum. The sun is currently at the tail end of a prolonged minimum.

If a CME is not already on the way, it won't arrive here tomorrow:

From: Coronal Mass Ejections

It is important to note that the crop circle does not try to indicate when the effects of a CME will arrive here, only when it will happen.

Everybody remember the great disasters caused by the 1997 CME? No? Me either.

Even if the burst of particles did not reach us tomorow, this does not mean that the CME will not occur tomorow. The crop circle is showing when the CME will happen, not when the particles will reach earth.
