Seabreeze caused gusts up to
14mph at SHCM6 and TS982

similar gusts today  Will the frontal boundary north of us cause
northerly winds today

2. What are the chances of
lightning on-site today  There were a few lightning strikes
yesterday...most lightning was well to the north.

3. What are the chances of a
thunderstorm on-site today  There was a light drizzle around noon
yesterday.  How much rain should we expect today

4. RH once again dropped below 50 briefly yesterday afternoon.  What
is the low RH expected today

5. What are the chances of fog
occurring tonight, and if so, what
time should we expect it Fog was reported for one hour this morning
at KPQL.

6. What are the chances of wind
going calm tonight, and if so,
what time should we expect it
NOTE: Overnight wind speed was
signficantly higher at the coastal
RAWS TS982, than at the other
RAWS.

7. What will be the main factor
determining movement of smoke
overnight: gradient wind,
down-drainage wind, landbreeze, or
