Main Concerns: Potential
visibility impacts from smoke and
fog on I-10, Gautier-Vancleave
Road, and Martin Bluff Road.

Questions

1What is the fog potential for
tonight into Thursday morning If
fog is possible, when is it likely
to occur, what is the expected
areal coverage and density
Should we expect an advective sea
fog, or radiational fog, or both NOTE: KPQL detected fog at 0453hrs,
but visual observation one mile west of KPQL detected a low stratus
deck but no fog.

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 causing higher than forecasted windspeed

5There 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
