2014-09-10 23:18 UTC  Recent R3 Solar Flare

Active Region 2158, now near center disk, produced a X1 (NOAA Scale R3 - Strong) solar flare today at 10/1745 UTC (Sep 10th at 01:45pm EDT). Impacts to HF radio communications on the daylight side of Earth lasted for a little more than an hour.

Initial information suggests that CME is likely associated with this event, however, further analysis is underway at this time.

Standby for more details.

They have confirmed a CME from the X1.6 flare. Looks like the CME from the earlier flare should hit around 2300z today, the second around 1300z tomorrow.

Good chances for aurora.
