Abstract: We present preliminary results from the observations of the Galactic Center compact source, Sgr A* at 3 and 2 millimeter wavelengths using the Nobeyama Millimeter Array to monitor flux density variations on timescales shorter than a month. Such high spatial resolution observations at millimeter wavelengths are important to shed more light on the origin of the variability and the nature of this compact source. Our observations indicate the flux density varies at least by ~30% in one to two weeks at 3 mm.
