A coronal mass ejection (CME) produced by the M3.3 solar flare at 10:39 UTC on January 21, 2025, is expected to deliver a glancing blow from late January 24 into January 25. This was a long-duration flare that started at 10:08 UTC and ended at 11:00.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Associated with yesterday\u2019s M3.3 solar flare was a Type II Radio Emission with an estimated velocity of 565 km\/s and a CME mostly directed off the SE limb beginning at 11:45 UTC in GOES\/CCOR-1 imagery.<\/p>\n

As a result, unsettled to active geomagnetic field levels, with a chance of G1 \u2013 Minor geomagnetic storm periods, are forecast mid to late on January 24 into January 25.<\/p>\n

Solar activity over the past 24 hours remained at R1 \u2013 Minor levels due to M1.3 flare at 11:08 UTC from Region 3961 (beta-gamma-delta). This event was associated with a Type II Radio Emission with an estimated velocity of 561 km\/s, suggesting a CME was produced during this event too. <\/p>\n

While the bulk of it is heading south of us, coronagraph imagery suggests we might have another CME with an Earth-directed component.<\/p>\n

Solar activity is expected to remain at moderate levels, with 60% chance of M- and 15% of X-class flares through January 24.<\/p>\n

There are currently 9 active regions on the Earth side of the Sun.<\/p>\n
