The Large Area Telescope (LAT), one of the two instruments on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, has observed increased gamma-ray activity from the Fermi source 1FGL J1033.8+6048 (Abdo et al. 2010, ApJS, accepted, arXiv:1002.2280). The source became bright and detectable on a daily timescale starting from the end of April. Preliminary analysis points out that on 14th May 2010, it reached a daily integrated gamma-ray flux (E>100MeV) of (1.5+/-0.3)x10-6 ph cm-2 s-1, and a 6h integrated flux on the third quarter of that day of (2.5+/-0.8)x10-6 ph cm-2 s-1 (statistical uncertainty only).
