Dear Collaborators,

The Major Flare Watch region NOAA 12975 was the source of an
M4.3 flare at 04/02/17:34 UT. An M3.9 flare (at 04/02/12:56 UT)
was also produced by a newly numbered region NOAA 12984
(N12W71, beta/D-type), just nearby 12975. Now 12975 has been
classified as a beta-delta/E-type region and is rotating over the
west limb. We will continue the Major Flare Watch on NOAA 12975
(and also 12984) for another 24 hours. A major flare or a low
M-class flare is still likely in the next 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 12975 on April 3 at 03:30 UT is:

N15W80 (913", 264")
