We report on continued monitoring of the new X-ray transient Swift J164449.3+573451/GRB 110328A (e.g. Kennea et al, ATEL #3242) by Swift. During 2011-Mar-29, Swift J164449.3+573451/GRB 110328A brightened significantly, triggering the Swift/BAT twice, at 18:26:25.19UT and 19:57:45.19UT respectively (see Sakamoto et al., GCN Circ #11842 for more details on the BAT characteristics). The XRT light-curve shows significant variability, and is characterized by periods of bright flares, with the XRT measured brightness varying with a dynamic range of ~400 (~0.2 XRT c/s to ~80 XRT c/s).
