MM#003 Major Flare Watch

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Solar activity continues at high levels. There have been two M class
flares in the past 24 hours, both of which were produced by NOAA
11283. This region is showing some signs of opposite-polarity flux
emergence both close to the strong leader spot and also in the
trailing plage region. Additionally, NOAA 11289 is showing signs of
activity, producing C class flares. This too is a large, complex,
multispot region that may produce higher level activity. However,
11283 will continue to be the focus of the Major Flare Watch with a
good chance of further >=M activity.

The position of NOAA 11283 on 9-Sep-2011 15:00 UT is:

N16W50  ( 707", 187" )
