[quote:Hugh M Eye:MV8xMzgyOTUyXzMxOTgzMDkxXzM1QjQxODg4] [quote:Hugh M Eye:MV8xMzgyOTUyXzMxOTgyNjEwXzM2NUJCOUMx] [b]AR1515 close-up HMII image [/b]- :1515HMII: [/quote] [quote:shadasonic:MV8xMzgyOTUyXzMxOTc4NDY1X0U3MTk3ODUy] Hugh does 1513 have enough energy for a big M or even an X? [/quote] We've seen these sunspot groups before (except for 1512 which we just witnessed being born). AR1513 is on its 3rd rotation! Originally the Monster 1476 and then 1493/96 on the last rotation; so we've already seen many strong M-flares from this region in the past 2 months. In the south, I believe regions 1514 (decaying) and 1515 (growing) were #'s 1497 and 1494 respectively on the last rotation. As you can see from this image, 1515 has grown considerably from a single alpha spot since early June. Here's a Spaceweather.com archive page from June 4th. http://www.spaceweather.com/images2012/04jun12/hmi4096_blank.jpg?PHPSESSID=olc7lpm3e3qcjv37v60gfe0dt3 On the 27-day plots we can see the large increase in X-ray events when this side of the Sun is Earth-facing. Almost all of this activity was from what is now called 1513. With the 2 latest M-flares, I think we can safely say this region still has potency; however, I'm hoping and expecting to see the southern hemisphere begin to pick up the pace soon. (I know I've been saying this for months now,LOL). 27-Day Plots: http://translate.google.de/translate?hl=de&sl=ja&tl=en&u=http://swnews.jp/rt/27d_all_27.html [/quote]

An update as to the arrival time of this CME will be added once all data has been reviewed.
The X9.3 flare is the 14th largest X flare ever recorded!
On September 4th we had 7 M flares from fast growing sunspot 2673, with at least 1 large dense Earth directed CME. This CME will arrive late in the day on Wednesday September 6th.
There is now a 25% chance for X flares over the next 24hrs & 71% chance for M flares
We have a Long Duration M2.4 Solar Flare starting
01:05 UTC July 14th 2017
There was a full halo CME observed with this solar flare. The associated CME is Earth Directed. See discussion on the last page for all updates!
