A new sunspot now numbered 1030 has formed high in latitude in the northern hemisphere. The magnetogram shows it has reverse magnetic polarity compared to what Cycle 24 spots normally would have in the northern hemisphere. There will be a small chance for lower level solar flares.

Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 309 Issued at 2200Z on 05 Nov 2009
Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 04/2100Z to 05/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. Region 1030 (N25E04) was numbered today as a Cro beta sunspot group with 5 spots. No flares were observed during the past 24-hours.
Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low, with a slight chance for a C-class flare.
Geophysical Activity Summary 04/2100Z to 05/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet.
Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet on days one and two (06-07 November). Quiet to unsettled conditions are expected on day three (08 November) as a weak recurrent coronal hole high-speed stream moves into a geoeffective position.
