A good question but I have to rely on the same information as you:

"When will the CME itself arrive? Assuming that it is Earth directed, probably on Oct. 30th or 31st. Fresh data from SOHO coronagraphs will allow a more precise forecast, so stay tuned."

Keep checking Spaceweather and see what they say.
