MM#003 Major Flare Watch

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

NOAA 2242 is maintaining its E-type/beta-gamma-delta
magnetic configuration with a complex E-W inversion line.
2242 has only managed to produce C-class activity since
the major M8.7 event on the 17th.  NOAA region 2241, S10E12,
is also a complex E-type/beta-gamma-delta region with an
E-W magnetic inversion line.  Both regions have the potential
to produce a major flare in the next 24 to 48 hours but 2242 will
continue to be the target region.

The position of NOAA 2242 on December 18 at 12:30 UT is:
S18E12 (Solar X = 129", Solar Y = -281")

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

Regards,

Bill Marquette (Helio Research)
