Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

The target region NOAA 11990 has remained quiescent since the X4.9 flare yesterday. Several other active regions have produced C-level events, including NOAA 11982 which was also the source of an M1.1 flare at 14:52 UT today. NOAA 11990 has shown significant signs of decay since the last message but retains its reversed polarity delta configuration with strong sheering. At this time we are downgrading from a Great Flare Watch to a Major Flare Watch due to the decreased likelihood of another large X-class flare at this time.

The position of NOAA 11990 on 26-Feb-2014 at 12:35 UT is:

S12E57, ( -796", -135" )
