patrol of the CPT F-01A prescribed burn from Friday, and in support
of planning for a prescribed burn at CPT F-01, F-02, or G-14 this
afternoon or tomorrow.

Verification of this mornings 7:17am PointAndClick Forecast for

Temps are cooler than forecastoutside the NWS margin of error.
Dewpoints are a little below forecast. Wind speed a little higher
than forecast.  Wind direction is accurate.  RH started out higher
than forecast, but is getting more accurate each hour, and right on
target at 11am.

QUESTIONS:

1. Please include a Fog Potential Statement for Sunday night/Monday
morning, and for Monday night/Tuesday morning.

2. According to 11:17am PointAndClick Forecast for CPT F-01-02 30.4N
88.75W, wind speed should peak around midday tomorrow and wind should
stay northerly all day tomorrow.  What are the chances of a seabreeze
causing a southerly wind tomorrow

3. According to PointAndClick Forecast for CPT F-01-02, wind is very
light Monday nightshould we be prepared for wind to go calm, and for
a northerly drainage flow to occur

4. PointAndClick Forecast has a low RH of 37 today and 32 tomorrow.
NWS margin of error for RH forecast is 10 percentage
points...therefore we are prepared for RH to drop as low as 27 today
and 22 tomorrow.  What are the chances RH will actually drop below 30
either day
