Dear Collaborators,
NOAA 13112 has continued to produce C-level activity since the last message and is now classified as a beta-gamma-delta region. However, NOAA 13110 in the northwest quadrant produced an M5.8 flare at 19:58 UT yesterday, followed by an M8.7 flare a few hours later. The region is undergoing rapid negative flux emergence along the northern leading edge of the dominant positive alpha spot, giving it an anti-Hale configuration. At this time we are issuing a Major Flare Watch with NOAA 13110 as the target region. Additional >M5 flares possible in the next 24-48 hours. The position of NOAA 13110 on 2-Oct-2022 at 03:30 UT is: N17W40, ( 590", 197" ) 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.
