Dear Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 3282 has decayed somewhat in the past 24 hours. The magnetic delta configuration located within the leading polarity sunspot has decayed away. The region still has some minor mixed polarities within the intermediate portion of its E-type sunspot group. NOAA 3282 was the source of numerous C-class events and an isolated M-class event (M1.5 at 04/15/23:27 UT) since the last message. C-class events expected with an isolated M-class possible in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 3282 on April 15 at 15:30 UT is:
N11E43 (-642", 249")
