Solar activity reached high levels when Region 3536 (N06E69,
Eai/beta-delta) produced an X5.0/3b flare (R3-Strong) at 31/2155 UTC, with complex radio burst signatures reported across discrete frequencies
by the USAF/RSTN observatories.
This flare also produced a 10 cm radio Burst of 3,100 sfu at 31/2143 UTC and a Type IV radio sweep at 31/2142 UTC.
In addition to the X-flare, newly numbered Region 3536 produced an M1.0 flare (R1-Minor) at 31/1912 UTC and an additional M2.3/1n flare
(R1-Minor) at 01/0854 UTC.
Minor growth was observed in the region in the past 24 hours.
A coronal mass ejection was observed in SOHO/LASCO C2 imagery beginning at 31/2200 UTC and was associated with the X-flare (R3) event from Region 3536.
The partial-halo signature is currently being analyzed and
modeled to determine the trajectory and timing of any Earth-directed
component.
.Forecast...
Solar activity is likely to reach moderate levels (R1-R1/Minor-Moderate), with a chance for X-class flares (R3-Strong),
over the next three days due primarily to the flare potential from
Region 3536
