Dear Collaborators,

The target region NOAA 13354 was the source of an X1.1 flare at 22:54
UT yesterday. The region retains its beta-gamma-delta configuration
and has increased in area to over 1100uh due to continued flux
emergence in its leading sunspot. As such we are implementing a Major
Flare Watch campaign at this time due to the increased likelihood of
another >M5 flare before the region transits the northwest limb.

The position of NOAA 13354 on 3-Jul-2023 at 11:30 UT is:

N16W65, ( 823", 239" )

See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and
