Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

The current level of solar activity is moderate. Yesterday's target (NOAA 11974) has continued to emerge flux and to release M-class activity, the largest of which was a M3.7 flare on 12-Feb-2014 at 04:25 UT. The magnetic configuration of the region now exhibits a double polarity- separation line (PSL) with some evidence for shearing at each line. Two mixed-polarity spots are also visible, one at each PSL. Considering the continued M-class flare activity and magnetic configuration of the region, the Major Flare Watch will continue for at least the following 24 hours. Further M-class activity is expected with a chance for a high M-class event.

The position of NOAA 11974 on 12-Feb-2014 at 18:20 UT is: S12W09, ( 151", -91" )
