Abstract: Weak and stealth CMEs, often characterized by low speed or faint signatures, are typically overlooked in space weather forecasting. However, recent studies indicate that they may still trigger moderate geomagnetic storms if favorable interplanetary conditions, such as southward IMF (Bz g catalogs. Then correlate CME arrival times with geomagnetic indices (Dst, Kp) and solar wind/IMF parameters from OMNI to assess their geoeffectiveness. The expected outcome is to demonstrate that even weak and stealth CMEs, though subtle, can play a significant role in driving moderate geomagnetic storms. This result would emphasize the importance of including such events in future space weather risk assessments.
