QUESTIONS

1.What are the chances of a
seabreeze occurring this afternoon, and if so, what is the most
likely wind direction and gust speed at this location We noted an
apparent seabreeze at KBIX and KPQL yesterday afternoon at 2pm, when
wind speed increased significantly.

2. Please include a Fog Potential
Statement for tonight and tomorrow
morning.

3. Yesterday afternoons Spot Forecast stated that wind would stay
active Friday night due to influence of the upper level low in the
Gulf. But this mornings Area Forecast Discussion and this mornings
PointAndClick Forecast for this location have raised doubts about
this. Should we expect wind to go calm or light/variable tonight, and
a northerly drainage flow to occur

4. In yesterday afternoons Spot Forecast, the forecaster stated that
the upper level low and the high pressure ridge would cause the
westerly and southwesterly wind directions during the morning hours
today.  Since the influence of the upper level low may not be as
strong as expected, what are the chances of a southeasterly wind
occurring today
