MM#003 Major Flare Watch

Dear Collaborators,

The target regions NOAA 2993/2994 produced two M-class
events since the last message. Both regions have beta-gamma
magnetic configurations. 2994 was the source of the
M1.1 at 04/22/05:14 UT.  2993 was the source of the M3.4
at 04/22/13:25 UT.  The two regions also produced several
C-class events.  2993 is the most likely source for M-class
activity.  There is an area of mixed polarity fields located
just north of the region's large leading sunspot
(N21W01, X = 015", Y = 420").  Another M-class event
likely with a chance of an isolated =>M5 major flare
event in the next 24 hour period.

The position of NOAA  2993/2994 on April 22 at 14:45 UT is:
N19E05 (Solar X = -079", Solar Y = 389")
