I read stuff like this a lot.

"NOAA forecasters estimate an 85% chance of M-class flares and a 45% chance of X-flares on Oct. 24th. If an explosion does occur, it will be geoeffective because the sunspot is directly facing Earth."

But since CME's have angular momentum from the rotation of the sun, a CME from a sunspot directly facing Earth should angle past the Earth. That implies another force, like the electrical force, is overcoming that angular momentum.
