MM#003 Major Flare Watch

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

We will continue the Major Flare Watch on NOAA 1166 for at least
another 24 hours.  1166 has decayed somewhat but is maintaining a
beta-gamma-delta magnetic classification and bright H-alpha plage.
1166 produced several C-class events and an M1.1 event
at 03/10/22:41 UT. NOAA 1169 (N20W03) appears to be forming
a small magnetic delta configuration in its leading portion.
1166 and 1169 are expected to produce C-class events with the
chance of an M-class event as well. An isolated M-class =>M5
is also possible in the next 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 1166 on March 11 at 11:30 UT is:
N09W33 (Solar X = 521", Solar Y = 251")
