QUESTIONS

1.What are the chances of a seabreeze occurring Friday, and if so,
what is the most likely wind direction at this location We noted a
likely seabreeze at KPQL at this afternoon at 2pm, when wind became
significantly higher than forecast.

2. Please include a Fog Potential Statement for tonight/tomorrow
morning, and for Friday night/Saturday morning.

3. PointAndClick Forecast has wind at 2-3mph early Saturday
morning...should we expect wind to go calm

3a. Wind speed is very low tonight, and wind direction is northerly.
Wind speed tomorrow night is very low, but wind direction stays
south. We have concluded that tonights northerly wind is a gradient
wind and not a down-drainage wind...is this correct

4. Please explain the counterclockwise rotation in wind direction
Friday Is it the result of the position of the ridge axis
