MM#003 Major Flare Watch

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Major Flare Watch target region, NOAA 2644, was the
source of two major events since the last message.
(M5.7 at 04/02/20:33 UT and an M5.8 at 04/03/14:29 UT).
2644 also produced a few lower-level M-class events
and numerous C-class events.  2644 remains in growth
phase maintaining its large and magnetically complex
F-type/beta-gamma-delta sunspot group.  NOAA 2645,
S10W34, is also a large E-type/beta-gamma-delta region
but is currently not producing major flares.  2644 has the
potential to produce another major => M5 flare with a slight
chance of an X-class flare in the next 24 hour period.

The position of NOAA 2644 on April 03 at 13:30 UT is:
N12W73 (Solar X = 898", Solar Y = 228")
