Feedback from yesterdays
forecast: RH yesterday afternoon was way off, as it dropped faster
than expected after the rain. Wind gusts remained higher than
expected also. Last night temps were significantly lower than
forecasted.  RH obs are unclear...MS Sandhill and MS portable both
had higher than forecasted obs, but Biloxi Keesler was within
forecast. Todays observations are back on track, but there is some
concern about low RH at noon and gustier than forecasted wind at
noon.
