There's a small CME on it's way, along with a fair amount of solar wind from sunspot group 1147 and surrounding active region.
Sunspot rash below 1147 now name as sunspot group 1149, Most of the solar wind coming at us is from this.
Likely to arrive 25/26th.
It's been coming off all day from the constant flares [

]
It's nothing to worry yourself about, but I thought I would point it out before someone else who would just make it seem more 'doomy' than it really is.
There is also some information of the growing sunspot group on [

]
Best viewed here: [
link to stereo-ssc.nascom.nasa.gov
] and updating movie for the 22nd [
link to stereo-ssc.nascom.nasa.gov
] Yes there are data gaps.
To view the flares please visit [
link to sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov
] Start: 2011-01-21 00:00:00 End: 2011-01-22 02:00:00 Best viewed on AIA 304 (red). You'll notice most of the flares are on the growing sunspot 'rash' that spaceweather mentioned.
