On Mar 16 8:00pm UTC a CME with speed greater than 800km/s is predicted
Normal speed is 200- 400km/s - "Red zone" is 800km/s

www.swpc.noaa.gov/SWN/index.html (ACE Solar Wind Page)
"Speed" greater than 800km/s is "Red zone"

www.swpc.noaa.gov/wsa-enlil/ (Solar Wind Prediction Page)
At Mar 16 8:00pm UTC
"Speed" is greater than 800km/s

Conclusion
NOAA classifies this CME as "Red zone"
Although it's M-Class, its high speed increases its effect (dynamic pressure - note significant density)

Based on my personal observations in the last year or so, I say this CME will have an effect on par with the largest CMEs we've seen lately. Probability suggests that before Mar 16 8:00pm UTC you, wherever you are, be on "high alert" for a day or so. Better safe than sorry. Be nice to each other.
