Tentatively we have a new sunspot group that has just risen above the eastern horizon of the Sun.

If so and it survives it will be numbered 11036. 

However we will need another day to really get a good look at it. Yesterday it released a very small B9.7 solar flare and non geoeffective (Earth directed) coronal mass ejection (CME).

The solar flux index is 88, a new solar cycle 24 high and the sunspot number is 24.
