MM#003 Major Flare Watch

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Target region, NOAA 1158, was the source of a major M6.6 event
at 02/13/17:30 UT.  The largest event since the M6 was a C9.4
at 02/14/12:45 UT.  1158 has a large magnetically complex
E-type/gamma sunspot group.  The intermediate portion
of the sunspot group has a strong delta configuration
with an E-W magnetic inversion line.  There is a very good
chance for another event equal to or greater than M5 in
the next 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 1158 on February 14 at 13:30 UT is:
S20W11 (Solar X = 174", Solar Y = -224")

See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and
