Dear Collaborators,

NOAA 13112 has continued to produce C-level activity since the last
message and is now classified as a beta-gamma-delta region. However,
NOAA 13110 in the northwest quadrant produced an M5.8 flare at 19:58
UT yesterday, followed by an M8.7 flare a few hours later. The region
is undergoing rapid negative flux emergence along the northern leading
edge of the dominant positive alpha spot, giving it an anti-Hale
configuration. At this time we are issuing a Major Flare Watch with
NOAA 13110 as the target region. Additional >M5 flares possible in the
next 24-48 hours.

The position of NOAA 13110 on 2-Oct-2022 at 03:30 UT is:

N17W40, ( 590", 197" )
