...REMARKS...
Please wait until 12z data is available before finalizing the
forecast.

1. Main concern will be RH
dropping below the allowable
minimum of 28.  Current dewpoints
behind the frontal boundary in Missouri are in the high 20s/low
30s.  This, coupled with
Wednesdays forecast temperature in the high 60s, would put us near
the minimum.  Please let us know
the chances of RH dropping below
28, and if so, for what duration.

2. What are the chances for fog
Wednesday night and Thursday
morning, and if so, at what time

3. What are the chances of wind
going calm Wednesday night and
Thursday morning, and if so, at
what time

4. What is the highest wind gust
we should expect Wednesday

5. Allowable wind direction for
CPT O-04 is W, NW, and North.
What are the chances for wind
directions outside of allowable,
and if so, at what time  Yesterday afternoons Spot Forecast said we
should expect wind direction between 330-360 degrees...what is the
current thinking on this range

6. Is a frontal boundary moving
through our area today  Will
this cause any shifting wind
directions or unexpected gusts

RAWS LOCATIONS:
SHCM6: 7 miles SE.
