QUESTIONS

tomorrowwhat are the chances of
RH dropping below 28, and if so,
for what duration

02. Airmass is very dry and extends over the eastern 2/3 of the
nation.  We have often noticed in the past it takes two days of
southerly flow for RH to increase significantly in this type of
scenario.  Please explain why you think RH will increase
significantly today.

03. Please include fog potential
statement for Tuesday night/Wednesday morning in your discussion.

04. What are the chances of wind
going calm Tuesday night/Wednesday
morning

05. What are the maximum wind
gusts we should expect Tuesday

06. When is the next rain
expected, and how much
accumulation

07. Current temp at KBIX is much higher than other nearby
locations...will this have an impact on CPT O-03 today
