There will continue to be a chance for M-Class activity around this region as it approaches the western limb.Sunspot 1289 remains a big Sunspot and is producing B and C-Class flares.
A new sunspot (AR1289) is growing rapidly in the sun's eastern hemisphere. The International Space Station drew attention to it this morning when the solar-paneled spacecraft flew almost directly in front of the sunspot's dark core (spaceweather.com):
