Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is moderate. NOAA region 11967 has maintained
spot area over the past 24 hours while decreasing in number of spots, most
notably in its intermediate portion. This region is still classified as a
beta-gamma-delta/F-type sunspot group and produced 2 M-class flares since
the last message, including the largest flare event in the past 24 hours
(an M2.0 flare on 7-Feb-2014 at 04:47 UT). Although NOAA 11967 appears to
be simplifying through its decay, the MM#003 Major Flare Watch continues
for a further 24 hours as NOAA 11967 has retained the capacity to produce
another flare above the M5 level.

The position of NOAA 11967 on 7-Feb-2014 at 21:00 UT is:

S13W63, ( 843", -169" )
