The
Sun continues to cycle up. It is expected for a possible
sudden series flares and CME's to commence within 48 hours.
Watch for aurora borealis, geomagnetic storms, possible
satellite disturbance, and maybe power grids to be interrupted.
Flares
and CMEs
A total
of 6 C and 6 M class events were recorded on March 28.
Region 9403 produced a C7.1 flare at 00:50 UT.
Region 9401 generated a C5.6 flare at 01:38 UT.
Region 9393 was the source of an M1.1 flare at 01:58, a
C5.7 flare at 06:40, an M1.3 flare at 09:47, a long duration
M4.3 event peaking at 12:40 UT, an M1.6 flare at 19:09,
an M1.6/1N flare at 22:47 and an M2.2/1F flare at 23:30
UT.
Region 9397 produced a C9.9 flare at 10:47 UT.
Region 9408 generated a C8.2 flare at 09:18 UT.
Two
full halo CME's were observed during the day, the
halos were similar in appearance, brightness and velocity
and may have had the same source. The first halo was observed
in LASCO C2 images beginning at 01:27 UT while the second
was first observed at 12:50 UT. LASCO EIT images unfortunately
do not point conclusively to a source for either of the
CMEs. The long duration M4.3 event in region 9393 may have
contributed to the latter halo, however, there is a possibility
both events may have a backside origin. If both or one of
the CMEs had a frontside origin Earth will receive an impact
sometime between noon on March 30 and noon on March 31.
