**** SPACE WEATHER OUTLOOK ****

Summary For February 2-8

Space weather during the past week briefly reached moderate levels.
Category G1 (minor) and G2 (moderate) geomagnetic storm levels were
observed early on February 02 due to high speed solar wind from a
coronal hole on the Sun. A moderate sized sunspot cluster rotated onto
the visible disk of the Sun on February 07, and produced an R1 (minor)
radio blackout on February 08. For a list of adverse system effects
related to space weather storms, please refer to the NOAA Space Weather
Scales.

Outlook For February 11-17

Space weather for the next week may reach minor levels. There is a
chance for R1 radio blackouts from two moderate sized sunspot clusters
on the visible disk. G1 (minor) geomagnetic storm levels are expected
during the latter half of the period due to high speed solar wind from
a coronal hole on the sun.
