Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

The current level of solar activity is moderate. Yesterday's
target (NOAA 11974) has continued to emerge new flux,
especially within its intermediate and North-East portions.
Since the previous message, the region was responsible
for 5 M-class events, the largest of which was a M1.8 flare
on 13-Feb-2014 at 01:40 UT. Several mixed polarity spots
are still visible within the region. For instruments with a
limited FOV, the main flare site appears to be centered on
the elongated PSL within the large mixed-polarity spot in
the North-East portion of the region. As NOAA 11974
appears to be growing more unstable, the Major Flare
Watch will continue for at least the following 24 hours.
Further M-class activity is expected with a chance for a
high M-class event.

The position of NOAA 11974 on 13-Feb-2014 at 18:30 UT is:
S12W22, ( 361", -97" )
