(Before It's News)

Good morning and happy Easter to everybody. Below is an updated look at the visible solar disk on Sunday. X-Ray activity during the past 24 hours was technically low. A filament eruption in the southern hemisphere resulted in a long duration C3.8 hyder flare event, along with a coronal mass ejection (CME) that appears to be directed mostly to the east and away from our planet. According to the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC), a weak glancing blow shock passage may still be possible by April 7th. Geomagnetic storming is not currently expected to come from this. I will provide further updates regarding this event if necessary. All visible numbered regions, including sunspot 2320 are currently stable.
A large filament located in the southern hemisphere erupted Saturday evening beginning at approximately 21:55 UTC and resulted in a long duration C3 hyder flare event. Attached image below courtesy of the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) using the 304 angstroms channel captures the aftermath. A quick look using multiple wavelengths indicate that a coronal mass ejection (CME) is associated, however will most likely be directed south of the Sun-Earth line.

CME UPDATE #2: A coronal mass ejection (CME) became visible in the latest LASCO C2 coronagraph imagery. As per the Space Weather Prediction Center, most of the plasma is headed away from our planet, however a weak shock passage may be possible by April 7th. Geomagnetic storming is not currently expected to come from this.
