Questions

1What is the fog potential for
tonight into Saturday morning If
fog is possible, when is it likely
to occur and at what density

2What are the chances of the wind
going calm during the overnight
hours Can we expect drainage
winds if the winds go calm

3What will be the maximum wind
gust we should expect today and
what will be the time frame of
occurrence

4What are the chances of a seabreeze or some other windshift that may
cause a southerly wind to occur

5Forecasted low RH in the digital-tabular forecast has decreased from
33 to 31 since yesterday afternoon, and the zone forecast has a low
of 28 for today.  What are the chances of RH dropping below 28
on-site, and for what duration  What is the expected low Dew Point
on-site

6There is a large body of water - the Pascagoula River - a short
distance to the east.  Will this have an impact on the wind direction
today

RAWS LOCATIONS:

SHCM6 1 mi. N
KPQL 7 mi. ENE

TS947 7 mi. SW

Note: TS947 SELA PORTABLE is currently located in coastal Jackson
County.  We have noted RHs at this RAWS the past few weeks are
running significantly lower than other stations in the area, and we
think its RH readings may be unreliable.
