SOLAR UPDATE - THURSDAY AUGUST 27, 2011 AT 11:07 AM CDT


A pair of sunspots have emerged on the north east limb. One of them I thought would have received the number 1277 as it was clearly visible all day long Wednesday, but it did not as of yet. These regions appear to be quiet thus far.


Existing Sunspot 1271 which continues to transit the northern hemisphere, remains a fairly large group and may still produce C-Class flares. NOAA lists a 10% chance for an M-Class event.
