MM#003 Major Flare Watch

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Major Flare Watch region, NOAA 1158, was the source of the first
X-class flare of Solar Cycle 24.  1158 produced an X2.2 event at
02/15/01:45 UT.  1158 also produced an M2.2 at 02/14/17:26 UT.
Both events were associated with Earth directed CMEs.
1158 maintains its strong delta configuration located within
the intermediate portion of its large magnetically complex
E-type/beta gamma delta sunspot group.
Another major event is likely within the next 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 1158 on February 15 at 12:30 UT is:
S21W21 (Solar X = 326", Solar Y = -245")
