There have been a few sunspots lately most of which were weak.
But sunspot 963 is "Rapidly Growing"
Will be interesting to see what class flares it will get

So far, just some C-class flares, but it will be interesting to watch.

Unfortunately, Kitt Peak is shut down due to a nearby fire otherwise I would check the magnetograms on that region.
