Good Morning Folks! The Sunspot Number has dipped to 142. The Solar Flux Index has jumped to 179. A big sunspot is turning toward Earth. AR3559 tripled in size over the weekend, growing 10 times wider than Earth with more than a dozen dark cores. An unstable 'beta-gamma' magnetic field makes AR3559 a threat for strong M-class solar flares. Chance of flares today: 50% for M-Class, 10% for X-Class.
