Dear Collaborators,
The new target region near the southeast limb has now been designated
as NOAA 13182 and was the source of an X1.2 flare at 00:43 UT today.
As such we are implementing a Major Flare Watch campaign at this time.
The region is currently classified as a simple beta/D-type region but
may show signs of complexity as it rotates on to the disk. Increased
chance of additional >M5 flaring over the next 24-48 hours.
The position of NOAA 13182 on 6-Jan-2023 at 04:30 UT is:
S17E69, ( -872", -264" )
