INCREASING CHANCE OF FLARES: NOAA forecasters have increased the odds of a flare today (40% M-class, 5% X-class) in response to developments inside sunspot AR3361. The active region has an increasingly unstable 'beta-gamma-delta' magnetic field that harbors energy for strong explosions. Any flares will be geoeffective as the sunspot is directly facing Earth.

INCOMING CME: A coronal mass ejection (CME) might be heading for Earth. It was launched into space this morning (July 10th @ 0355 UT) by an M2-class eruption in the magnetic canopy of sunspot AR3358 (movie). According to a NASA model, the partial halo CME will sideswipe our planet on July 13th. The impact could spark G1 to G2-class geomagnetic storms. Stay tuned for updates.
