Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity continues at a moderate level. The largest event
since the last message was an M2.1 flare at 01/09/08:45 UT
produced by NOAA 13181 (S20W27). 13181 has been designated
as a beta-gamma/E-type configuration, with emerging new sunspots
and new magnetic fluxes. The target region NOAA 13182 only
produced a few low-to-mid C-class flares since the last message,
though it has been classified as a beta-gamma-delta/E-type configuration.
Today the Major Flare Watch region will switch to the southeast limb
region, now numbered as NOAA 13184, which has produced five ~M1
flares. But if possible, please also include NOAA 13182 (S17E25) in
your field of view. Additional low M-class flares are expected from
various regions with a chance of an above M5 flare in the next 24-48
hours.

The position of NOAA 13184 on January 9 at 12:30 UT

S13E74 (-914", -201")
