More Flares Incoming! Aurora Possibilities Ahead.
Image Credit NASA/SOHO Sunspot region 1467 near the centre of this field, is firing off powerful M class flares and should be easily observable with safe solar projection.
In addition to the flares I reported earlier, there was a M5.8 event around 2:30 pm. Looks like we could be in for some aurora one way of the other. Spaceweather gives a 50% chance of geomagnetic storms in high latitudes in the next 24-48 hours.
In regard to the May 7 flares, solar storm watch says the May 7 CME's will miss us http:// www.solarstormwatch.com/ storms/287 this is borne out by there not being even a flicker of a storm being reported by the IPS.
