...REMARKS...
Please provide all forecast
elements in 1-hour increments for
today, and 2-hour increments for
tonight and tomorrow.

NOTES AND QUESTIONS

1. What are the highest wind gusts
we should expect today

2. According to the 0416 Area Forecast Discussion, the surface high
in place will quickly shift east today and low should sag over the
Texas panhandle...thus shifting the moderate south flow over the
forecast area this afternoon.  QUESTION: should we expect some
windshift or variability in wind direction today

3. What is the fog potential for
tonight and tomorrow morning, and
what time is fog most likely to
occur

4. What are the chances of wind going calm tonight, and for what
timeframe

5. If wind does go calm, what will determine the movement of smoke
overnight: laminar flow, down drainage flow, pressure gradients, or
some other factor

6. Forecast soundings for this afternoon have southwesterly flow
aloft...will this have any effect on our transport wind direction
