2. FORECAST (01 FEBRUARY - 03 FEBRUARY)
Date   T index  Conditions       MUFs                              
01 Feb    80    Normal           Near predicted monthly values
02 Feb    80    Normal           Near predicted monthly values    
03 Feb    80    Normal           Near predicted monthly values   

COMMENT: MUFs were mostly near predicted monthly values but very 
variable at near equatorial latitudes in the central (DWN, TVL) 
and western (Cocos Is) sectors. MUFs are expected to be near 
monthly averages for the next 3 days. Possibly higher than normal 
variability at near equatorial latitudes due to the lingering 
effects of recent geomagnetic activity taking longer to disperse 
in the inner magnetosphere above it.
