Solar activity has increased to a moderate level since the last
message. The largest event in the last 24 hours was an M1.2 flare at
9:40 UT today(3/13) from NOAA 14384 approaching the Northwest limb.
The trailing portion of this region underwent further significant
flux emergence to grow the new sunspot to a comparable size with its
original leading sunspot. Three low-to-mid C class flares were also
reported from this region in the last 12 hours, while yesterday's
target, NOAA 14393 only produced two low-C class flares since the
last message.
Today, we will switch our target to NOAA 14384, expecting additional
C to M class events during its Northwest limb transit.
The position of the target in NOAA 14384 on 13-March-2026 at 16:00 UT
is: N09W72 (905", 195").
