    According to Spaceweather.com : Yesterday's M7.4-class solar flare could be the opening salvo of a flare-y weekend. Three sunspots (3959, 3961, 3964) facing Earth have unstable magnetic fields. NOAA forecasters estimate a 70% chance of M-class flares and a 30% chance of X-flares on Jan. 18th.

    According to Spaceweather.com : It shows 24 hours of sunspot 3964. Yesterday, the sunspot didn't exist. Now it is the size of two planet Earths. This rapidly evolving sunspot has an unstable magnetic field that could explode to produce a strong solar flare. If so, Earth is in the line of fire.

    According to Spaceweather.com : As Comet ATLAS approaches the sun, solar heating will cause it to brighten dramatically. It is already near magnitude 0, and it could brighten another 100-fold this weekend. If current trends hold, its magnitude should increase to -5 (twice as bright as Venus) on Jan. 13th, when the comet swoops only 0.09 AU from the sun.

    According to Spaceweather.com : Previously-active sunspot AR3947 is starting to decay, and could soon lose its delta-class magnetic field. This means the chance of strong flares is decreasing. NOAA has downgraded the odds of an X-flare today to only 15%.

    According to Spaceweather.com : Since Jan. 3rd, sunspot AR3947 has produced three X-flares and dozens of M-class solar flares. All that activity yielded zero significant CMEs. What happened? Flares and CMEs are two different aspects of exploding sunspots, and they don't always happen at the same time. Dozens of flares with zero CMEs is a little unusual, but not unprecedented. The opposite can happen, too. AR3947 might suddenly start producing CMEs with no significant flares. It would certainly improve the aurora forecast.

    According to Spaceweather.com : NOAA forecasters have issued a G1-class geomagnetic storm watch for Jan. 4th and 5th when a CME and a stream of solar wind are expected to graze Earth's magnetic field. This should be a relatively minor event, much less intense than the severe G4-class storm of Jan. 1st. Nevertheless, high-latitude sky watchers (especially near the Artic Circle) could get a good show if the storm materializes.

    According to Spaceweather.com :The quiet has broken. During the past 24 hours, sunspot 3936 has produced two X-class solar flares (X1.1 and X1.5) and a score of lesser M-flares. This morning's X1.5-class eruption (0414 UTC) was so strong it triggered a secondary blast in sunspot 3932 more than 200,000 km away. This is actually a double X-flare. Both explosions pictured above crossed the X1 threshold. Extreme ultraviolet radiation from the flares ionized the top of Earth's atmosphere, causing a shortwave radio blackout approximately centered on Australia. Ham radio operators in the area may have lost signal below 20 MHz for as much as an hour. We don't yet know if these flares hurled CMEs into space.

      @ The Northern and Southern half of the Sun have very different arrays of Sunspots with more X-class and M-class solar flares occurring in the Southern hemisphere. The Northern hemisphere should now start to see more as the magnetic field on the Sun has flipped N->S and S->N. The magnetic flux and the ropes of Magnetic and Electrical fields will now start to converge on the Northern Hemisphere. Thus only 1/2 has contributed to the total Sun’s maximum….
