Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a high level. Target NOAA 13098 maintained
number of spots and spot area since the last message, remaining
classified as a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group. This region
continued producing several C-class flares and was the source
of two high M-class events, an M7.9 and M6.2 on 16-Sep-2022 at
09:44 UT and 15:49 UT, respectively. At this point we initiate
a MMOP#003 Major Flare Watch on NOAA 13098. Low M-class flares
are probable in the following 24 hour period, with a chance of
further flaring above the M5 level.

The position of NOAA 13098 on 16-Sep-2022 at 18:00 UT is:

N19W86 , ( 900", 300" )
