2. FORECAST (02 FEBRUARY - 04 FEBRUARY)
Date   T index  Conditions       MUFs                              
02 Feb    90    Normal           Near predicted monthly values
03 Feb    85    Normal           Near predicted monthly values    
04 Feb    80    Normal           Near predicted monthly values   

COMMENT: MUFs were mostly near predicted monthly values but variable 
near equatorial latitudes with some local enhancements probably 
due to the lingering effects of recent geomagnetic activity taking 
longer to disperse in the inner magnetosphere above it. Some 
geomagnetic activity in the first half of the UT day with mid-latitude 
Unsettled and polar Active levels did not seem to affect MUFs 
suggesting some resilience in the ionosphere at present. Conditions 
should be normal for the next 3 days.
