I do not know if the flare's released CMEs yet or if they are earth facing- I will update when I know. The 1654 spot is rotating directly into Earth view and I suspect has a bit more partying left in it's dancing shoes. 50% chance of further M Class flares and 5% chance of X Class flares. I'm betting we'll see an X-Class in the next 3 days.... we'll have to wait and see.

Active Region 1654 erupted with second M-class solar flare of the day. On January 11, 2013 at 15:07 UTC a moderate solar flare measuring M1.0 was recorded. This latest event started at 14:51, peaked at 15:07 and ended at 15:24 UTC.

Earlier today we had a moderate but impulsive M-class solar flare measuring M1.2. The flare erupted from same region (AR 1654) at 09:11 UTC.

Region 1654 is now classified with beta-gamma-delta magnetic configuration and is becoming more geoeffective as it rotates into direct Earth view. This region is capable of producing strong solar flares and will pose a threat in the coming days.
