Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

The target region NOAA 12653 produced an isolated B3 flare at 00:12 UT on April 30, which was associated with a weak CME (seems to be not Earth-directed). 12653 retains its alpha/H-type sunspot group, and shows flux emergence in the leading spots. Further B-class activities are possible over the following 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 12653 on April 30 at 13:30 UT is:

S09W41 (618", -96")
