Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

The current level of solar activity is high. Since the previous
message, yesterday's target (NOAA 12017) was responsible
for an X1.0 flare on 29-Mar-2014 at 17:48 UT, followed by a
moderate M-class flare (during GOES eclipse) on 30-Mar-2014
at 11:55 UT. The region has decayed partially since yesterday,
but still shows a mixed polarity spot, just East of the main
leading spot. Due to the enhanced probability of a >M5 event,
the Major Flare Watch will continue for at least one more day.
Further low M-class activity is likely, with a chance for a
moderate M-class event.

The position of NOAA 12017 on 30-Mar-2014 at 16:20 UT is:

N10W43, ( 647", 246" )
