is smoldering on both sides of I-10. Also need to know chances of
wind going calm tonight or Wednesday morning.

Feedback from yesterdays
forecast: forecasted max RH was 96, observed was 93. Forecasted low
wind overnight was SE-5, observed was SE-4.  Todays RH started out a
little lower than forecasted, then on target from 1000-1400
hours...probably due to early morning temps being higher than
forecasted.  Todays wind speed and direction was right on target from
0600-1200, 1400 observed wind was a little lower than forecasted.
