Just a thought (without any scientific reasoning) but could the

Despite what the mejia would like you to believe the solar activity
has been pretty low. A small CME did hit around 1500 yesterday but it
was pretty small.

Now if sunspot 484 flares in the next 48 hrs we could catch quite a
whack. Like wise for for sunspot 486 but starting in about 24hrs and
lasting 72 from then. Note the "if" and "could"...

BTW both are easyly visible using projection techniques. NEVER LOOK
DIRECTLY AT THE SUN.
