AR NOAA 11393 (and soon AR NOAA 11391) has already rotated of the west limb. NOAA AR 11396 is increasing in size and has capability of producing C-flares and perhaps an M-flare. Two CMEs occurred yesterday (Jan 12), one after an eruption on the northeast limb after which large post-eruptive loops became visible in EUV imagery from SDO/AIA and SWAP. The second CME was linked to a filament eruption located at central meridian in the northern hemisphere. STEREO data indicate that these two CME are not expected to be geoeffective. An elongated coronal hole is visible at central meridian. The high speed wind stream emanating from it could induce some perturbed geomagnetic conditions on Jan 16.
