Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has continued at an elevated level since the last message. Multiple flares were produced in the last 24 hours, the largest being an M5.2 from NOAA 13663 at 05:58 UT today. NOAA 13663 remains the most productive active region as it begins its approach of the northwest limb. An additional active region, NOAA 13664, has developed into a beta-gamma-delta region and shows signs of significant flux - this region should be monitored closely over the next 24 hours. NOAA 13663 will remain the target region at this time and the Major Flare Watch will continue. Additional M-class activity is likely in the next 24 hours, with a chance for an additional isolated >M5 flare.

The position of NOAA 13663 on 07-May-2024 at 11:30 UT is:

N25W52, (680",434")
