Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is moderate. The target region NOAA
13004 grew in spot area since the last message while losing its
mixed-polarity spots and developing a beta-delta/D-type sunspot
classification. This region continued producing flare activity
since the last message, including several C-class flares and an
M2.2 on 5-May-2022 at 13:08 UT. NOAA 13006 decayed slightly in
the past 24 hours and also produced several C-class flares and
an M2.7 on 5-May-2022 at 14:02 UT. The Max Millennium Observing
Plan #003 Major Flare Watch remains in effect on NOAA 13004 due
to its magnetic delta configuration. Further low M-class flares
are probable over the following 24-hour period, with a chance
for another >=M5 flare.

The position of NOAA 13004 on 6-May-2022 at 15:00 UT is:

S16W37 , ( 555", -216" )
