MM#003 Major Flare Watch

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Both NOAA regions 1261 and 1263 developed rapidly late in the
day yesterday.  Both regions increased sunspot area and count
and magnetic complexity.  Both regions have delta configurations.
1261 and 1263 produced numerous C-class events during the past
24 hour period. 1261 was the source of the largest C-class event
(C4.0 at 08/01/07:32 UT).  Target region 1261 could produce
an isolated =>M5 event in the next 24 hour period.
1263, N18E28, is also capable of producing an M-class event today.

The position of NOAA 1261 on August 01 at 10:30 UT is:
N16W01 (Solar X = 015", Solar Y = 168")
