Another geomagnetic storm today.
My Decay Watch page has updates regarding...

Note: This decayed much more quickly than I anticipated - too much so to
be explained by today's geomagnetic storm. I suspect that decay came on
the northbound leg towards an equator crossing over the Pacific near the
end of the above orbit. The SpaceCom warning has not been updated, at
least on OIG's WWW server.
