2. FORECAST (03 FEBRUARY - 05 FEBRUARY)
Date   T index  Conditions       MUFs                              
03 Feb    85    Normal           Near predicted monthly values
04 Feb    70    Normal           0 to 5% below predicted monthly 
                                 values    
05 Feb    80    Normal           Near predicted monthly values   

COMMENT: MUFs were mostly near predicted monthly values. Some 
geomagnetic activity in the first half of the UT day at polar 
latitudes disturbed the ionosphere but did not affect MUFs. Conditions 
should be normal for the next 3 days apart from slight suppression 
of MUFs on 4 Feb at most latitudes from modest geomagnetic activity 
expected from a thin high speed solar wind stream from a coronal 
hole.
