Dear Collaborators,

Target region NOAA 3272 has decayed somewhat losing some penumbral area. 3272 has an elongated sunspot group with numerous small sunspots with a beta-gamma magnetic configuration. 3272 produced a C5.9 event at 04/11/22:42 UT. A new region located mostly beyond the southeast limb at S23 was the source of a few limb occulted C-class events today. The largest was a C5.2 at 04/12/15:44 UT. This limb region might be the new target tomorrow. C-class events likely with an isolated M-class event still possible in the next 24 hour period.

The position of NOAA 3272 on April 12 at 10:30 UT is:

S23E05 (-077", -284")
