Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a low to moderate level. Yesterday's target has
continued to release C-class events with increasing frequency. The
mixed polarity spot mentioned yesterday in the leading portion of the
region has increased in strength and now shows evidence for a delta
classification with significant shearing and exhibits a strong double
polarity separation line. Due to the enhanced probability for a >M5
flare, a Major Flare Watch is now in effect.  Further C-class activity
is expected with the chance for a >M5 event.

The position of NOAA 12253 on 2-Jan-2015 at 22:35 UT is:

S07E22 ( -364", -68" )
