The sun released an X8.1 Solar Flare this afternoon at 4:57 PM (MST). If you noticed a headache or dizziness around this time, this may be why. After first glance of this NASA satellite feed, it does not appear that there will be much of a CME heading this way. We won't be sure until NOAA updates the space weather forecast model tomorrow. In the mean time we have a very cranky set of sunspots making their way across the sun right now, and there may be more to come from this regarding intense space weather. We will post an update tomorrow after NOAA updates their prediction model.
