CHANCE OF FLARES: A broad cluster of four sunspots straddling the suns equator is facing Earth. Each of the active regions has a beta-gamma magnetic field that harbors energy for M-class solar flares. So far these sunspots are relatively quiet, producing no more than a drizzle of low-level C-class flares (and one M1). Perhaps they are conserving their energy for something bigger. NOAA forecasters estimate a 50% chance of M-flares and a 5% chance of X-flares on April 16th. SpaceWeather
