This video using SDO footage shows the M-class solar flare:

A quick look at this sunspot region shows that new flux has emerged in the intermediate layout of this sunspot region during the past 12 hours with a solid amount of magnetic mixing there as well. At least two delta sunspots can now be found there and more M-class (R1-R2) activity can be expected.

M-class flare probability for the coming 24 hours: 65% chance
X-class flare probability for the coming 24 hours: 10% chance
