MM#003 Major Flare Watch

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

NOAA 1654 has decayed somewhat in the past 24 hours but it is still maintaining a large F-type/beta-gamma sunspot group with bright plage. 1654 was only able to produce C-class events since the M1.0 event on 01/11/15:06 UT. It is less likely but still possible for 1654 to produce an isolated event =>M5 in the next 24 hours. The MFW will continue for at least another day.

The position of NOAA 1654 on January 12 at 14:00 UT is: N08E23 (Solar X = -378", Solar Y = 203")

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.
