SOLAR ACTIVITY UPDATE: M1.1-Solar Flare/CME (May 2nd, 2013).
CHANCE OF FLARES: NOAA forecasters have raised the odds of an M-class solar flare today to 45%. There are at least two sunspots capable of producing such an eruption: AR1730 and AR1731. Sunspot AR1731 is located near the center of the solar disk, so any eruptions from that one will be Earth-directed. http://www.spaceweather.com/
