ALERT! Real time solar forecasting system used by NASA had predicted 41% chance of an X-flare of 1635 that just became visible, just downgraded.
[link to spaceweather.inf.brad.ac.uk]

Visual characteristics
D - A bipolar sunspot group with penumbra on both ends of
the group. Longitudinal extent does not exceeds 10 deg.

k - large, assymetric. Same structure as type 'a', but north-south diameter of penumbra is more than 2.5 degrees. Area, therefore, must be larger or equal than 250 millionths solar hemisphere.

o - open. Few, if any, spots between leader and follower. Interior spots of very small size. Class E and F groups of 'open' category are equivalent to Zurich class G.

I am talking about the spot that is one the left. Are you trying to tell me something about the image?

Hmmm, so the sun doom was probable. Oh well, at least the I-phone will die, which is good since it's most responsible for the dumbing down of the so-called civilized world.

EMERGING SUNSPOT: Solar activity has been low for weeks. Would adding a new sunspot change the situation?

Have you looked at my source or can you post a source that updates more often than mine (15 min)? (I assume you are using SWPC's or NOAA's predictions).

The whole thing about Doom is that we are at Risk. Nobody actually knows what is gonna happen.

They only know that we are going through a danger period.

Uhm, not so fast, OP. Doesn't it seem odd that the chances suddenly go from 41% to 1%? It could be the TPTB noticed they were being honest about the situation and intervened.

Or maybe sun doom will in fact wait for another time...

The model analyzes the visual appearance of the sunspots and the results may have been skewed by the angle since the sunspot was still getting out into our view. At least this was hopefully the case.

Re: ALERT! Real time solar forecasting system used by NASA had predicted 41% chance of an X-flare of 1635 that just became visible, just downgraded.
the % changes each 2 min as it updates and the sunspots change and morph

from the bradford website:
"How does flare monitor work?
Our agent program "SPIDER" connects to the SDO website every two minutes to search for the new HMI images and download them to our server"

here is the link to the SDO website that Bradford uses for their solar flare % site
[link to sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov]

sometimes we can see the % chance rise and fall quite drasticly with each update (2 min)
all depending on the movment seen within each earth facing sunspot region
some sunspots are very active and have a lot of movment within them
others are still, quiet and quite boring
sunspots 1633, 1634 and 1635 are all sunspots to watch very close
