Calm Before the Storm!

The surface of the Sun seems a little less cluttered today with AR3842 and friends having exited in the west. Having said that, we are expecting possibly a G4 solar storm after AR3848s X1.8 flare and CME and I think we can expect more sunspots to rotate into view soon. AR3848 is looking majestic, covering several Earth areas.
