MM#003 Major Flare Watch

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
 
NOAA 1520 decayed slightly losing sunspot area and sunspot
count but is maintaining an F-type/beta-gamma-delta sunspot
group classification.  1520 produced C-class events and a 
low-level M-class event during the past 24 hour period.
There remains a possibility of 1520 producing another
major flare =/>M5 in the next 24 to 48 hours.

The position of NOAA 1520 on July 14 at 15:00 UT is:
S16W32 (Solar X = 482", Solar Y = -318")
