Impressive development of AR 4197 (former 4170) over the past 24 hrs. It is adding a lot of umbral and penumbral area, the central part of the AR looks quite impressive with strong polarity mixing. It has been a while since we have seen development this vigorous. Looks promising.

AR 4197 currently possesses a "delta spot" - an area where positive- and negative-polarity umbrae are within the same penumbra. This is sometimes called a "magnetic knot" in sunspots. You can see the delta spot indicated in this screenshot which I have annotated. This is the

I genuinely could not be more excited for the approaching sunspots on the limb of the sun. Like, the anticipation for a big solar storm is real. I need more space lights. My mind is on two things right now. Soon-to-be fall colors and potential coming Aurora. Can we be so lucky?

M3.5 flare and climbing coming out of the SE sunspot cluster. I wouldn't be surprised if this produces a large CME. Still early, but unlikely Earth-directed due to it still being just over our side of the limb.

If you've seen the optimism on the platform about the potential for solar weather at Earth, it's due to large Sunspot clusters on the limb or on the opposite side of the Sun. As the sun rotates, these regions come into view, and the center disk region where Earth and the Sun

Very deep tropical airmass over (you guessed it!) Phoenix, AZ, this morning. PWats reaching 1.79" of water, appreciable elevated instability in reserve, and a nearly saturated profile with the surface at 77/70 means heavy flooding chances and precip-loaded thunderstorm downdrafts

Hate to be that guy, but AR 4197 is not looking as healthy as it was 24 hours ago... it is still a threat for M-class flares... but it lost a little of that "angry" look it had last night... let's see, though!
