1) WIND WILL GO CALM FOR A PORTION OF THE NIGHT HOURS AT BOTH LOCATIONS.

2) FOG IS LIKELY INLAND THAN AT THE COAST BUT SHOULD STILL BE CAPABLE OF
DEVELOPING WITHIN 2 MILES OF THE COASTLINE.

3) WITH CALM WINDS OVERNIGHT...THE ONLY FORCING FACTOR WILL BE DRAINAGE
WINDS.

4) RH LEVELS SHOULD NOT DROP BELOW 35% TODAY.
