MM#003 Major Flare Watch

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

A strong EFR located between NOAA 1160 and 1161 was the source of
an M6.6 event at 02/18/10:11 UT.  This region has a beta-gamma-delta
magnetic configuration and continues in strong growth phase.
NOAA 1158 continues to slowly decay.  It produced numerous
C-class events yesterday.  We'll continue a Major Flare Watch
but switch from 1158 to the new EFR in the NE. Another M5
or stronger event is possible from the new region.  Another
M-class event is also possible from 1158.

The position of the target EFR on February 18 at 8:30 UT is:
N18E04 (Solar X = -064", Solar Y = 411")

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

for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

Regards,

Bill Marquette (Helio Research)
