Solar activity is at a low-moderate level. Several flares were produced in the last 24 hours, the largest being an M1.4 from an unnumbered region in close proximity (and possibly associated with) NOAA 14420 at 13:54 UT today. NOAA 14419 and NOAA 14420 have been relatively quiet since the last message. NOAA 14419 is almost out of view over the northwestern limb. NOAA 14420 shows significant flux and retains its beta-gamma-delta configuration. The Major Flare Watch will be extended for what may be the final 24 hours with NOAA 14420 as the primary target region. Additional attention should also be paid to NOAA 14419 as this region may produce occulted events as it passes out of view. Further C-class activity and low M-class activity is expected with a small chance for an isolated >M5.0 event.
The position of NOAA 14420 on 26-April-2026 at 11:30 UT is:
N17W11, (174", 351")
