Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be moderate
with
a chance for an isolated major flare for the next three days (17-19 February). Region 1158 is expected to produce more M-class flares and still has the potential for producing an M5 or greater x-ray event. There is a chance for isolated M-class activity from Region 1161.
1158 is rotating away from facing directly to us so any flares at this point will not be aimed directly at Earth as the earlier M and X class flares were. Actually, I would be more worried if I earned my living in orbit or at high altitude. 1161 is rotating into an Earth-facing position but doesn't seem as active as 1158 was though that can change tomorrow. http://spaceweather.com/
