MM#003 Major Flare Watch

Dear Collaborators,

At this time we are implementing Max Millennium coordinated
observing plan #003 (Region Likely To Produce A Major Flare).
NOAA 3006 was the source of an isolated X1.5 major flare
at 05/10/13:55 UT. 3006 (D-type/beta-gamma-delta)
added numerous small spots since the last message. The
previously weak magnetic delta configuration became stronger
in the past 24 hours.  The delta had been stable and quiescent
for the past several days.  The target region NOAA 3007
(S24E49, X= -656", Y = -355") was the source of C-class
activity.  3007 (E-type/beta-gamma) added sunspot area
and spot count since the last message,  3007 produced a
C4.7 event at 05/10/13:47 UT. 3006 and 3007 were flaring
at the same time.  The target position will switch to 3006
today but both regions have the potential to produce a
major flare event =>M5 in the next 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 3006 on May 10 at 15:30 UT is:
S31W05 (Solar X = 071", Solar Y = -445")
