Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity continues at a moderate level. The largest event
since the last message was an M2.8 flare at 03:21 UT today
produced by NOAA 13612 (N22W87) with an Alpha/A-type
configuration. 13612 also produced three ~C5 flares and is now
rotating beyond the west limb. Note that the northeast limb region
mentioned in the two previous messages has been numbered
as NOAA 13614 (N16E63) having an Alpha/H-type sunspot group.
13614 produced an M1.0 flare at 04:06 UT today (plus a C3.1 flare
yesterday). The target region near the southeast limb (unnumbered
yet) generated nine C-class flares, the largest one being a C5.0.
Today we continue to watch this region which has some sunspots
emerging. Further C-class activities are expected with a good
chance of low M-class flares from the target region as well as
NOAA 13614 in the next 24-48 hours.

The approximate position of the target on March 18 at 12:30 UT is:

S13E66 (-860", -180")
