MM#003 Major Flare Watch

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

NOAA 1261 has slightly decayed following the M9 event on July 30th but is currently maintaining its beta-gamma-delta magnetic classification. Another major flare is less likely today but an isolated M-class flare is possible in the next 24 hour period. The Major Flare Watch for an event => M5 will continue for at least another day. NOAA 1263, N18E39, also has the potential to produce an isolated M-class event.

The position of NOAA 1261 on July 31 at 15:30 UT is: N17E13 (Solar X = -204", Solar Y = 187")

See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.
