Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a low level. The high-lying loops of target
NOAA 13256 have now rotated out of view over the South West limb.
This region was likely the beyond-the-limb source of the largest
flare since the last message, a footpoint-occulted C9.7 flare on
31-Mar-2023 at 20:39 UT. At this point we are terminating the
MM#003 Major Flare Watch. Of the active regions remaining on the
visible disk, NOAA 13262 (classified as an alpha/H-type sunspot
group) has produced the most recent flare - a C1.3 on 1-Apr-2023
at 06:59 UT. This region becomes the new target. Further C-class
activity is probable in the next 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 13262 on 1-Apr-2023 at 18:00 UT is:

S18W57 , ( 766", -238" )
