Prepared jointly by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, Space Weather Prediction Center and the U.S. Air Force. UPDATED 2014 Jan 18 1230 UTC .24 hr Summary... Solar activity was at low levels. The two largest events of the period were a C8 flare at 17/1608 UTC and a C7 flare at 17/2007 UTC, both likely from newly numbered Region 1959. There appear to be trailer spots with this region but its proximity to the limb makes it difficult to get a full analysis. A second, larger spot began rotating around the east limb during the period as well and will be numbered when it is within view. The next few days will yield better observations for flare potential. Two large coronal mass ejections (CMEs) were observed on LASCO C2 coronagraph imagery at 17/2000 UTC and 17/2236 UTC, likely related to the C8 and C7 flares mentioned above. They both appear to be too far east to be geoeffective, however further analysis will be completed once more imagery is available. .Forecast... Solar activity is expected to be low with a chance for R1-R2 (Minor-Moderate) level flares for the next three days (18 - 20 Jan) as Region 1959 on the southeastern limb rotates further onto the visible disk.
