...REMARKS...
Please report forecast elements in
one-hour increments today, and
two-hour increments tonight and
tomorrow.

Please wait until 12z sounding
data is available before
finalizing your forecast.

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

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

6Area Forecast Discussion issued at 0357hrs mentions a back-door
front and increasing cloudiness today, but the Digital-Tabular
Forecast issued at 0417hrs does not reflect this.  How will this
change affect conditions at the burn unit  In particular, will this
have an effect on mixing height, transport wind speed and direction,
and surface wind speed and direction
